To develop a strategy to address local neighbourhood traffic issues, the Winston Heights-Mountview Community Association Traffic Committee must identify the community traffic concerns that are important to local residents. It is critical that we get input from a number of community members. To collect the needed information, the Committee has created a short, simple online survey to document the most important traffic concerns. The individual information we receive from the survey will remain confidential, but the consolidated data will be shared with the community and the City and be used to develop the plans for the work of the Traffic Committee.
The survey is available at http://winstonheights.ca/trafficsurvey
They ask community members to access and complete the survey by Oct. 31, 2013.
If someone you know does not have computer access to the online survey, Traffic Committee members will be available on October 22 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., at the WHMCA Hall, to input their information.
A significant response from the community is required so that the Committee can effectively represent your traffic concerns. Please make sure that you complete the survey by Oct. 31. Thank you for your assistance.

Two large garbage bins are being provided to help facilitate your spring cleaning – May 17 to May 27, 2012. The bins will be located on the cement pad in the alley behind Merrill Drive (Phase I) and in the parking area between 32nd and 33rd Street.
Please place your items inside the bin. No large items (furniture, appliances) or chemicals are permitted.
Household chemicals (paint, antifreeze, automotive batteries, glues, nail polish and remover, propane tanks, fertilizer, ant, rodent or weed killer, bleach, cleaning solvents, etc. can be dropped off at Household Chemical Drop-Off locations (selected fire stations or landfill site). Our closest fire department is Fire Station # 4 at 1991 – 18th Ave. NE. Please check out the City of Calgary’s web site or call 311 for acceptable items and other locations.
Electronics (computers, laptops, monitors, TV, printers, keyboards, etc) can be dropped off at the city electronic recycling depots. Our closest electronic recycling depot is Staples on 32nd Ave. NE. Please check out the City of Calgary’s web site or call 311 for acceptable items and other locations.
Please think of the environment before throwing out items. What you consider garbage may be useful to someone else. There are many centres that are looking for used furniture such as the Calgary Drop-In Centre which will pick up items free of charge. Clothing and light household items can be donated to thrift shops.
These are all extra steps for us but a better solution for a healthy environment.

Phase I Monthly Fee Increase
Homeowners in Phase I received the annual budget package which stated there would not be in increase in monthly fees in 2013. However, you may have noticed an increase in your recent payment. Unfortunately, Ultimate Property Management made a calculation error which resulted in a small increase in monthly fees. This was not noticed until after the new fees were assigned by Ultimate’s financial department. We apologize for the over sight.
Neighbourhood Watch
It has been noticed that a man has been rummaging thru the contents of our patios and decks (with and without gates). He has been seen going thru bags and tossing the contents on the ground leaving a mess. He has also been seen looking into windows.
Ultimate Property Management has suggested homeowners contact the City of Calgary Police Department if you see him on private or condo property.
Refundable beverage containers are not to be left on patios and decks. If you choose to put your refundable beverage containers in your blue recycling bin please do so only when placing your bin out on recycling day. Hopefully, this will discourage people from coming on our private areas and rummaging in the recycling bins. Please check your Bylaws or contact Ultimate Property Management if you have any questions on what is allowed on decks and patios.

Christmas Tree Recycling
Waste & Recycling Services will pick up Christmas trees from Calgary households that currently receive City residential garbage collection.
Place your tree on the ground near your black cart collection spot. It will be picked up within three weeks.
Your tree must be out by 7 a.m. on January 8, 2013.
Drop-off: The City will also have eight temporary drop-off depots for trees:
These locations will be open: December 28, 2012 to January 27, 2013.
•Fire Hall #15 – 6328 35th Ave. N.W.
•Prarie Winds Park – 223 Castleridge Blvd. N.E.
•Bottomlands Park – St. Georges Drive and Seventh Avenue N.E.
•Marda Loop Community Association– 3130 16th St. SW.
•Parks Compound – 10312 Sacramento Dr. S.W.
•Spyhill Landfill – 69th Street and 112th Avenue N.W.
•East Calgary Landfill – 17th Avenue and 68th Street S.E.
•Shepard Landfill – 114th Avenue and 68th Street S.E.
For landfill hours, visit calgary.ca/waste or contact 311.
The trees collected by the program are chipped into mulch, put into windrows where the internal temperature reaches a point that will remove pests like gypsy moth larvae. The mulch is used in green spaces around Calgary and available at no extra charge to residents.
Keeping trees out of the landfills helps extend the life of landfills, reduces greenhouse gas and produces a useful resource. The annual Christmas tree recycling program is just one of many ways that Calgarians can reduce, reuse and recycle to help The City achieve its goal of diverting 80 per cent of its waste by the year 2020.
