Deer Ridge Real 14Estate Update

GREAT NEWS PUBLISHING HAS BEEN PROUDLY SERVING DEER RIDGE FOR 2 YEARS!

Your city employees want to start the new year with a big Thank You for appreciating our efforts in keeping Calgary clean and green. You gave our garbage and recycling teams a 97% satisfaction rating last year.

And we’d also like to thank the City for reaffirming their commitment to keeping this service public — and saying No Thank You to a for-profit service that would have cost taxpayers 5-20% more!

Here’s to another great year, in Canada’s greatest city.

It just doesn’t get better than thisOUR JOB IS TO KEEP IT THIS WAY

MESSAGE FROMTHE DEER RIDGE BOARDValentine’s in Deer RidgeValentine’s Day is coming up fast, so time to start think-ing about � owers! This year use � owers to express meaning to loved ones, as � owers can be given to fam-ily, friends or, of course, a lover. In Victorian times, � owers had very speci� c meanings. A bouquet of pink carnations meant gratitude, red and white roses meant unity and Jasmine meant grace and elegance.Here is a cheat sheet for picking out your Valentine’s roses.Red means love, pink means appreciation, yellow means friendship, purple means enchantment, and blue means mysterious love Surprise your loved ones and have a very Happy Valen-tine’s Day!- Lanis

THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD

COUNCILLOR, WARD 14 PETER DEMONG www.calgary.ca/ward14eaward14@calgary.ca or 403 268-1653

Greetings Ward 14!

Great news! You have an extra day in February! I’ll be making sure that the City is using that extra day—and the other 365—wisely, and I want to mention a couple of ways we’ll be doing. Let’s leap right in to it.

LED Streetlights in Ward 14The lights we use to brighten our streets at night have a huge impact on this city, and not just in terms of bet-ter visibility. They require us to produce energy, they can cause light pollution, and they often need to be replaced. I am happy to say that in 2015 we began ret-ro� tting streetlights for new light emitting diode (LED) bulbs, and will continue into 2018 until the retro� tting of 80,000 streetlights is complete. They will be replacing the high pressure sodium lights that the City has been using for some time now.

The � nancial bene� ts of the project are clear. With all the lights installed we expect to save $1 million annually on maintenance costs, and $5 million in annual electric-ity costs. But there are also some bene� ts that are not as easily represented in a � nancial statement. They will reduce energy consumption by up to 50%—the equiva-lent of powering 2,820 homes per year—and will drasti-cally reduce light pollution. I think you’ll � nd you’ll be able to see better too.

The LED streetlights are coming to Ward 14 very soon. Silverado is scheduled for retro� tting during the � rst quarter of 2016, and the rest of Ward 14 will be done during the third and fourth quarters. Let me know what you think of them!

Interactive Parks and Roads MapAs I write this just a little before Christmas, the Roads de-partment, Parks department, and I are hoping for some snow to test a project that we have been working on. We had an exceptional amount of snow during the win-ter of 2013/2014, and we learned many things from the experience. Based on people’s comments to my o� ce, the lack of communication between the City’s crews and its headquarters became very apparent. A high-lighted map was literally the only way for us to know what had been cleared and what had not.

The result of our work will be real-time information not only on what roads and pathways have been cleared of snow, but eventually what parks have been mowed as well. It will be available to the public in an online map made possible with GPS out� tted equipment. It is a sig-ni� cant step forward in the level of service that we pro-vide citizens. All we need are two signi� cant snowfalls to test the system out. Hopefully we will have had them by the time you read this.

February CounciltalkThank you to everyone who attend Counciltalk in Janu-ary. If you didn’t get a chance, or would like another opportunity, the next one will be on February 27 at the Chaparral Resident’s Association Lakehouse (225 Chap-arral Drive SE) from noon to 2 p.m. If you can’t make that one there are other opportunities listed at calgary.ca/counciltalk, or you could sign up to get reminders of all the Counciltalk dates at calgary.ca/ward14connect.

Have a wonderful February, and don’t forget that you can always contact me.

January has passed and I trust that your New Year’s resolutions are holding strong. It has been a busy month; spending time with family, connecting with residents, and meeting local stakeholders has given me time to listen and learn. It has also been a pleasure visiting grade 6 students from area schools over the last month and I am encouraged by their curiosity and knowledge of political issues. Gaining awareness of how democracy works and how blessed we are to live in a free country are key to future participation and engagement in their communities. The Legislature o� ers educational programming for individuals and schools alike. If you are interested in visiting the Legislature for a tour or watching session live, please contact my o� ce. Our right to vote is essential to our free society.

February is a great month to get out and explore our province. Family Day is February 15 and provincial museums will be free of charge to the public. This is a wonderful opportunity to explore some sights and

attractions around our province. Look to my Facebook page for more information.

The Legislature will soon be sitting for the spring session. A couple of key items to look for will be Carbon Tax legislation and the 2016/17 Budget. Traditionally the budget has come out the � rst week in March. With respect to the Carbon Tax, exactly how this will a� ect us, has not been clearly de� ned. I believe all Albertans are committed to being environmental leaders and our energy industry is constantly innovating to deliver the best product. These private sector initiatives are essential to a� rming the sectors social license. As businesses innovate to be more environmentally responsible, I believe each of us at home and in our community can do our part. Our world-leading technology can also be exported globally where it will have more of an impact than anything we do locally. This is where I believe we need to focus our e� orts to make a real di� erence in global climate change. My concern is that by imposing additional Carbon Taxes on individuals and businesses, investment opportunities

will dry up and new business will choose not to come to Alberta. On average individuals can expect to pay an additional $400-600/year by 2017and by 2018 upwards of $800/year. The tax will be charged at the pumps, tacked onto our natural gas bills, and on each KWatt of electricity we use. In this time of economic uncertainty and lack of employment in many sectors, I believe this is an irresponsible approach to � scal management of our natural resources and the livelihoods of Albertans. The Carbon Tax is not revenue neutral.

Although 2016 looks to be a challenging year, let’s all band together to do our part in supporting one another in the community, and maintain our optimism for Alberta in the future.

Your comments and opinions help make a better Alberta. Please join me every Friday in February at my o� ce for co� ee and treats at 10am for an informal opportunity to talk. Thank you.
