Town hall – Crestmont Amenities
May 22, 2025 at 7pm
The CHOA will be hosting a Town Hall on Thursday, May 22nd, to discuss future amenities in the community.
This is an opportunity for discussion and feedback, and we invite all residents to attend. Please keep in mind that there will be no formal decisions made, or votes taken. We will however use this as our guide for the basis of a Special Resolution meeting to be held in June.
Please see the video below for an overview of a future multisport court that will be discussed further at the town hall:
March 4, 2025: Construction Update: Partial Road Closure of Crestmont Boulevard
As the development of the neighbouring community of Ospry Hills continues, further infrastructure work will be taking place this month. Fortunately, after meeting with representatives from both Homes By Avi and Whissell Contracting in November to request changes to the closure of Crestmont Boulevard at that time, the spring project was redesigned to avoid full road closure at this stage. Pending approval by the City of Calgary and Alberta Transportation, the details are as follows:
Estimated dates of impact: mid-March to end of May (roughly 8-10 weeks).
– Temporary traffic lights will be used to close only one lane at a time (at either end of the colored areas – see below)
– This will be done in three (3) phases to minimize the impacts on community traffic, starting with phase 2 closure.
Please note that there will be no transit or bussing implications, however schedules may have small revisions due to the controlled flow of traffic between Crestmont Hall and 109th Street.
Further updates will be shared as they are provided to us.
Restoration of East Storm Pond Fountain Amenity
The CHOA Board of Directors had approved, and budgeted for, a replacement fountain in the East storm pond in early 2024. We were, unfortunately, unable to put that amenity in place due to City of Calgary water restrictions. This year your Board is pleased to announce that the new fountain has been purchased ($17,728) and is expected to be installed this spring, pending approval of the licenses required by the City of Calgary.
Our General Manager submitted the request early, and received feedback that Crestmont should be one of the first licenses approved this year. This process falls entirely within the City of Calgary’s scope and as we know more, we will share details. Please note, there will be no additional cost burden to members for this amenity, as the funds that had been allocated to the capital purchase were carried over into the 2025 fiscal year. Although the annual maintenance costs ($8000) associated with the fountain were not included in the operating budget for 2025, reserve funds will be allocated towards them, and will be an operating cost for budgeting going forward.
Game Night Update
Thanks to everyone who attended our April Game Night! We will be hosting one more Game Night in May, and then we will be taking the summer off until September!
