Over that period we have made many additions and improvements to provide events and activities for the community. In the past year we added a skate board park, paved the Woodbine hockey rink, replaced the basketball posts and court at Woodlands and made many smaller improvements to the centre. This month I thought I would outline what improvements we are working on for this year and the future. Our hockey rink and parking area lights at the community centre are now over 20 years old and we are planning to replace them this year. The centre is getting busier so we are adding another bathroom to the lower level. We never have enough storage space so we plan to double the size of our garage. We are looking into landscaping the skate park area and how we can provide some sound abatement for the area. Next year we will be converting some of our lower area storage space into an additional meeting room or activity area. In the future we will be looking at additional parking and community signage. WOODCREEK COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION Just a reminder that Next event is for the big kids, the St. Paddy’s Dance on March 21. Watch the Chronicle for details. Watch for another family spaghetti dinner on April 12. Unbeatable family price, bingo, prizes and a lot of fun. So that covers events for youth, adults and families. Come on out and take in some of these events. If you haven’t got your community membership yet, see the Chronicle for locations. We are close to the one thousand mark and would like your support.

For more information contact: Linda / Lorraine 403-238-1611 If you ask people in our area where they live, they say Woodlands or Woodbine. So where does Woodcreek come from? A little history lesson will give you the answer. Woodlands was established in 1976 and Woodbine 4 years later in 1980. The Woodlands Community Association was incorporated on May 21, 1980, and two years later the Woodbine Community Association was registered on October 19, 1982. In order to better serve the needs of the area, the Woodlands and Woodbine Communities amalgamated on January 29, 1992 and the Community Association name was changed to Woodcreek Community Association and represents the 15,399 residents of both communities. In 1987 a Community Centre building (approximately 1000 sq. Ft.) was built at 1991 Woodview Drive S. W. In 2010 we added a 2500 sq. ft. addition with a full basement. We now have a facility that can better serve the needs of the community and provide a venue for meetings, banquets, dances, birthday parties, you name it. A portion of the basement area provides storage for our community groups. Extra Copies Woodcreek Chronicle Available at • Safeway Customer Service • Woodbine Shoes & Repairs • Fishman’s Personal Care Cleaners • Crispy Crust Pizzeria CALGARY SENIOR MEN’S SOFTBALL 55 + Looking for men 55+ to join our league. No experience necessary. We have three divisions and can accommodate all skill levels. At the end of April new players are evaluated and teams are drafted. The league plays at Triwood and Senator Patrick Burns, one division plays in the day time, the other two play in the evening. www.grandslamslopitch.com. So when you hear the name WOODCREEK think both of the communities. A further point is that Woodcreek does have two properties. Our main location is the Community Centre in Woodlands. We also have a Woodbine location on Woodborough Road where we have tennis courts, pickle ball courts, basketball hoop, skating rink and a skate board park to be built in 2014. These are all part of the Woodcreek Community Association. One further organization we have in the community is the Fish Creek Sports Association. They organize all of the Woodcreek sporting activities. When you buy a Woodcreek Community Association membership you also become a member of Fish Creek Sports. Volunteering....

The urban forest includes all trees and shrubs growing in parks, river valleys, streets, roadways, and commercially and private lands, naturally occurring or intentionally planted. The NeighbourWoods Program was developed in 2007 in response to a council mandate to replenish and restore Calgary’s urban forest in addition to educating Calgarians about the values of trees. Most people will readily admit the value of trees for the aesthetic benefits they create and the shade they provide, but trees are more than beautiful decorations. In an urban setting, trees can transform a landscape while improving the air we breathe, reducing soil erosion and run-off, and providing habitat for wildlife. Trees reduce home heating and cooling costs, increase property value and improve the mental wellbeing of everyone around them. Trees reduce stress, calm anxiety and help us reconnect with the natural Kidsland Daycare 17 months to 12 years An excellent beginning to your child’s education 403 251-2332 665 Woodbine Blvd SW 20 world. Trees can block or enhance scenic views, complement architecture, guide pedestrian traffic, buffer street noise, and provide places for recreation. Due to their size, trees are often thought of as belonging to the whole community, regardless of actual ownership. Over 100 years ago, the citizens of Calgary started planting and protecting trees on residential streets. William Pearce was instrumental in urging the City to plant trees and develop parks along the Bow and Elbow rivers as early as 1883 and envisioned Calgary as an eventual city of trees. Citizens were encouraged to obtain and care for trees for private planting and in 1894, with the co-operation of the CPR, native trees were brought in from the mountains by railroad. Ratepayers were advised that spruce trees could be obtained for a cost of five cents each. In 1899, a railroad car of maple trees was ordered from Brandon, Manitoba at a price of fifteen cents per tree to the ratepayers. With the advent of street tree planting, it became necessary to pass a bylaw and in 1899, council passed one of its earliest bylaws to protect the trees from vandalism. In 1905, the board of trade again made arrangements with the CPR to bring in spruce trees from the mountains to sell to citizens for ten cents per tree, double the price from 1894. This practice was repeated in 1913 by W.H. Reader (Reader Rock Garden). Trees were so revered and planting trees was taken so seriously that in the early 1900’s, Arbour Day was considered a civic holiday with banks and other business institutions closed for the day. As most of the early urban forest has perished due to age and disease or is being removed for development, our current city council has the foresight to re- MARCH 2015 I Great News Publishing I Call 403-263-3044 for advertising opportunities plenish and repair it. The NeighbourWoods Program was established to ensure future generations will reap the benefits similar to the urban forest of the past. Although the logistics and monetary values have changed, the same concept of community tree planting that was used over a century ago is being revived. At its heart, the NeighbourWoods program aims to engage individuals and community associations to take a stewardship role for the care and preservation of Calgary’s urban forest. Since its inception in 2007, the program has focussed on working with ten communities each year. Each community is given 100 trees and community members are invited to apply to become Residential Tree Stewards of specific new trees on their boulevards or back-of-walk area (city owned property in front of their homes). Communities are chosen based on the health and condition of the existing urban forest, community interest, and tree planting opportunities in the community. Home owners in these communities apply to the program by calling 311 and applications are approved after certain criteria are considered. Once applications are approved, the home owner becomes a Residential Tree Steward and works with the City to choose the preferred tree species for their site. Residential Tree Stewards are responsible for planting the trees in pre-dug holes, contributing a $30 per tree participation fee, commit to watering and monitoring their sponsored tree(s) for five years. All new trees are owned by The City and planted on City property. Residents of the participating communities are encouraged to volunteer with their Community Association to assist with promoting the program in their community and planting day event planning and implementation. For more information on the NeighbourWoods Program, or to register to sponsor a tree(s) by the March 31st deadline, please call 311 or visit www.calgary.ca/neighbourwoods.

A major focus of Hull School is to prepare students to live as contributing and productive adults when they graduate. Unfortunately, many arrive at Hull lacking the life skills necessary to build the foundation for a healthy future. At Hull School, these essential skills are part of the curriculum, including how to shop for and prepare a healthy meal, how to budget and how to dress for, present oneself at a job interview, and how to manage one’s behaviour in various social contexts. To deliver this program more effectively and impact an even larger number of students, our 2,000 square foot addition – the Work Experience and Life Skills Centre – is scheduled to open in May, 2015. An expanded Work Experience and Life Skills program will help ensure that each student leaving Hull School has the necessary skills to care for themselves to their best ability. The curriculum will focus on personal care, behaviour management, résumé writing, job search techniques, interview preparation, as well as time and money management. Teachers will reinforce the importance of proper conduct in a job, being punctual, well-groomed and socially appropriate, as they provide ongoing guidance to students in work experience placements. The Work Experience and Life Skills Centre will benefit the next generation of young adults. In the long-term, junior and senior high school students at Hull School will build a solid foundation upon which to make wise choices for themselves and conduct themselves more successfully. We are helping our students become contributing members of society. This will lead to a stronger and healthier future for everyone.

Here’s hoping it will continue, however I hope that you can still get out to enjoy some tobogganing, skating and other winter activities before it all melts away. February was a very important month in Scouting. ‘Robert Baden-Powell, the Founder of Scouting, was born on February 22, 1857 in London, England. Members of Scouting from around the world celebrate this date as Baden-Powell Day. Canada celebrates Scout-Guide Week from the Sunday before February 22 until the Sunday after. At this time, members of Scouts Canada and Girl Guides of Canada plan and hold special activities to promote our Movements. Scout-Guide Week 2015 takes place from February 15 – 22.’ Woodcreek Scouts group celebrated this special day with a Baden-Powell banquet night where the Venturers did an excellent job on a power point presentation. All of our sections have been busy and having a ton of fun as usual. The highlights from last month for the Beavers had to be the great night making sock puppets and then taking turns putting on a puppet show. They enjoyed another fun weekend camp this time at the Calgary Zoo! Building wooden bumble bees and race cars were other highlights. Another recent family activity that was very popular was a tobogganing day which thankfully was warm and sunny. The Cubs enjoyed a weekend dinosaur camp in Drumheller in February. They also enjoyed a side trip to visit the Reptile World where they watched many of the reptiles feeding. The Cubs worked hard to earn their new prehistoric badge. Another recent event was their Disability Awareness Night where they learned Braille and ‘signing’, and about the many challenges faced by the disabled. Next they will be learning all about aboriginals at an Aboriginal Awareness Night. A big exciting event coming up for them is the annual cub car races. 30 The highlight for the Scouts in February had to be the ski trip to Castle Mountain. Other recent activities they enjoyed were laser tag, badge work nights, tobogganing and snowshoeing. plan is in place. The Johnson’s have even been fortunate enough to see a few youth graduate high school while in their care; a significant milestone they were proud to be a part of. The Venturer group recently enjoyed a day at the Calgary Shooting Centre. They invited their friends from the 207 St Patrick’s to attend for a couple of hours of shooting hand revolvers and rifles. They joined the Scouts and invited the 207 St Patrick’s group on the weekend ski trip to Castle Mountain. This will have been their 5th annual trip! These experiences have proved rewarding not just for Nancy and Mark but for their whole family. Their youngest daughter, now 23 years old, shared with Nancy that growing up with foster children as part of their family taught her to be more understanding, patient, as well as accepting. “Each of these children have become a member of our family” says Nancy and to this day, they have a number of their foster children come back to visit as adults. There is a very exciting event coming up this summer that I would like to mention. The Canadian Pacific Jamboree is held every 4 years and participation is open to all youth of Scout age who are registered members of Scouts Canada. It will be held from July 11-18, 2015 in Camp Barnard in Sooke, BC. We have approximately 6 youth, 2 Venturers, 3 leaders, and 2 advisors attending so far. I will be posting more information on this wonderful camp adventure in the coming months. Here is an excerpt from the website to give you a quick peek at what they will enjoy. “Your Salish Sea Adventure begins with a stunning, scenic 95 minute BC Ferries voyage from the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal, across the Strait of Georgia and past the Gulf Islands to Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal on Vancouver Island. You will travel south along the Saanich Peninsula, where you’ll enjoy views of the Olympic Mountains and the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Victoria and then onto the west coast of the island to the beautiful town of Sooke. Nestled between the majestic old growth forests and awe-inspiring beaches of the Pacific Ocean coastline, Sooke is renowned for its rich cultural heritage. It offers unlimited opportunities for outdoor adventures and unforgettable experiences, a truly West Coast experience.” If anyone has any bottles they would like to donate to the group towards the Pacific Jamboree please call Scouter Chris at 403-249-5848 anytime for pick up. It Takes a Village by Rayna Fudge Any number of complex social issues can leave children and youth unable to live at home. Enter Nancy Johnson and her husband Mark who have been foster parents for the past 14 years, having cared for over 65 children in their home. Children in their care have stayed for a couple of days to a couple of years depending on the circumstances, with Nancy and Mark providing each child with the support they need until they are able to return home, are adopted into another family, or an alternative permanency Over the year’s Nancy’s philosophy and reasons for wanting to help have remained the same: “Mark and I believe it takes a village to raise a child and we just want to do our part.” Even though the youth and children in their care have come and gone, Nancy feels that the connections formed last a lifetime. “I have often said that when a child leaves, they leave a bit of themselves with us, and take a bit of us with them.” Now that seems like a fair trade.

MARCH 2015 I Great News Publishing I Call 403-263-3044 for advertising opportunities The Official WOODCREEK Community Newsletter • www.woodcreekcommunity.ca I MARCH 2015 31 Nine Tips to Bring Your Lost Pet Home Warm spring weather brings an increase in lost pets. At Calgary Humane Society, one of our roles is to make sure lost pets find their way home! If your pet has gone missing, here are a few tips: 1.DON’T PANIC! As scary as it is to find your pet missing, the most important thing you can do is remain calm. Stop and take a few deep breaths. Examine the situation and think about what may have happened. Once you have some ideas, start making a plan. If your pet has been gone for a very short time, it may make sense to go looking and calling for them. If they’ve been missing for a while, then calling friends to help look and calling in lost reports might be a better plan. 2.Start making lost reports. When you call, provide as much information as you can about where and when your pet was lost and provide as much descriptive information as you can. Was your pet wearing a collar? Do they have distinctive markings? What is their microchip/tattoo number? These little details greatly increase the chance that someone will correctly recognize your pet. Sending or posting good quality photos of your pet will also help. Places to send lost reports: •Calgary Humane Society Animal Admissions – 403205-4455 •City of Calgary Animal Services – 311 •Kijiji/Craigs List/Local Buy/Sell websites •Facebook/Twitter/social media (encourage others to share) •Social media has many local lost pet groups (Southern Alberta Pet Connection and YYC Pet Recovery are two example of pages in Calgary) •Contact smaller rescues in the city directly 3.Put out things to entice your pet home. Put food, a favorite bed and other familiar objects out to help tempt your pet back home. If your pet is skittish or 32 MARCH 2015 I Great News Publishing I Call 403-263-3044 for advertising opportunities scared, renting or borrowing a live trap and putting the items into the trap may help. Have somebody keep an eye on these items to watch for your pet to return. 4.Arrange a search party. Call friends, relatives and neighbours to help search for your pet. Choose the people that your pet is most familiar and friendly with to go out and search. Ask the people who do not know your pet as well to help with other jobs, like lost report phone calls. 5.Create lost posters and hang them up. Include a number that you can always be reached at (like a cell phone) on the sign. Hang up the posters in the areas that you think your pet might be, concentrating on areas where lots of people will see the signs. Remember where you have signs so you can remove them once your pet is home! 6.Keep updating your signs and lost reports. Update lost reports and social media posts. Check that posters are still hanging up and readable. 7.Never give up hope. At Calgary Humane Society we have seen some amazing reunions. We have reunited pets with their family years, and even decades after they went missing. 8.When your pet is home, thank everyone! Everybody loves a happy ending. Cancel lost reports, update social media postings and take down any lost posters. 9.Stop this from happening again. Examine the situation behind how your pet went missing and evaluate what could prevent a similar problem in future. As always, prevention is the best medicine. Investing in permanent identification (a tattoo or microchip) for your pet and routinely checking your property to ensure your pet cannot go wandering are the best way to protect your pet from loss.

Employment Insurance Tips Alexander Shevalier With the downturn in the economy and the large number of people being laid off here is some information on applying for Employment Insurance (EI). 1.Apply for Employment Insurance right away, even if you don’t have your record of employment, and if you have received severance pay. You have 28 days to apply for EI if you wait longer it will affect the length of your benefits and the size of your weekly payments. 3.If you are denied benefits, submit a request for reconsideration within 30 days of the day you were informed of the decision. People make mistakes, and you need to make sure the decision made is a correct one. If it is denied again, you can appeal to the Social Security Tribunal. You have 30 days to appeal a decision. 4.There is a two-week waiting period where you will not receive benefits. 5.You must be ready, willing and able to accept work. 6.You have to report every two weeks. 7.EI requires you to keep track of your job search activities. Your claim could be audited, and you must have the job search handy. Two or more search activities per business day is a minimum recommendation. You will only need to present the job search if asked. 8.You must report any absences from Canada. You are not eligible for benefits when you are outside of Canada, with a few exceptions. Spiritually, the annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Breakfast along with our Ash Wednesday Celebration marked the beginning of the Lenten season.

Is your Business Prepared? Did you know that small businesses – defined as having fewer than 50 employees – account for 95 per cent of all business activity in the province? In Calgary, twice as many people are employed in small businesses than in large businesses. Small businesses represent almost 40 per cent of Calgary’s GDP. Clearly, small business is BIG business! The Calgary Emergency Management Agency (CEMA) wants to help ensure the continued operation of Calgary businesses. With almost 64 per cent of Calgary businesses reporting an interruption in the past two years and evidence showing that up to 40 per cent of businesses are not able to re-open after experiencing a large interruption, preparing for emergencies and disasters is more important than ever. There are many things a business owner can do to ensure their continued operation and success. Business continuity is about understanding the risks that your business could face, and developing plans or strategies to deal with disruptions. Risks can be natural (such as flooding or severe storms), technological (IT, telecommunications or supply chain disruption), or human-caused (vandalism, cyber attack, sabotage). Emergencies and disasters can occur without warning but preparedness and planning can help reduce financial losses, keep your doors open, and protect your staff and customers from harm. Creating a business continuity plan has five steps: 1.Analyze your business 2.Assess the risks 3.Develop strategies 4.Make a plan 5.Exercise your plan CEMA, in conjunction with the Calgary Chamber of Commerce, has developed a business continuity handbook to help guide you through the steps of building a plan. You can access the handbook and additional worksheets and templates at calgary.ca/cema. You can also register your business for the Chamber’s Emergency Business Contact database to receive information about emergencies that could impact your business operations. Visit calgary.ca/cema or calgary chamber.com for more information.

Response to Calgary’s Economic Situation Our city’s local economy is driven by the oil and gas industry, making our investments dependent on this sector’s economic viability. As your City representative, I am very much aware of how significant the sudden drop in the price of oil has and is impacting citizens and local businesses in Calgary (See my YouTube video where I posed this question to City Manager Fielding @ www.councillordiane.ca). In the ten short weeks since City Council passed our four year business plan, thousands of people have lost their jobs which in turn is requiring a shift in how The City spends your money and invests in future growth. At this point in time, we believe we can stay the course on the operating side of our organization and not reduce services. However, it is a different story on the capital side (see our four year business plan @ www. calgary.ca/actionplan). City Council must think hard about what we defer, what we self-finance, and what we must debt-finance going forward. In the third quarter Council will make adjustments to the 2016 budget as required. City Council and Administration are working closely together as we closely monitor the impacts on a weekly basis. We are all in this together. We are approaching these impacts by constantly determining: • • • • What the impacts of falling oil prices are on our local economy and population growth How the impacts of falling oil prices affect operations and by what magnitude What opportunities and vulnerabilities have materialized How our workforce is impacted Our budget was constructed to accommodate a population growth of approximately 25,000 people.

Our budget has been established to meet this continued population growth and can accommodate the range of population changes that our city may see. We have also started a new savings plan for both our operating and capital budgets. This will ensure that much of the operating and capital infrastructure can proceed, along with the needed human resources to deliver.

The Condominium Property Amendment Act passed in the legislature in December; and it will give Albertan/s greater confidence in how condominiums are bought, sold, governed, and operated. If you live in a condo, or plan to buy one, you will benefit from these changes. The responsibilities of developers will be clarified, emphasizing responsible business practices; and you will have access to more information including financial details at the time of purchase. The way your condo boards are governed will be enhanced, and penalties for offenses will be stronger. A new condominium dispute tribunal will provide owners and condo boards a way of settling disputes outside the court system; and new training and standards will be set for condominium managers. In short, the quality of life in condominium developments throughout Alberta is going to improve, thanks in large part to the input of over 4000 owners, developers, condo boards, and the general public during extensive consultation. Their message was clear: our condo market is growing, and its laws needed an overhaul to keep up. More than 88,000 condo units have been built in Alberta in the last 10 years, and they make up roughly 20% of homes sold in Alberta each year. Albertan’s will continue to have a say in how this important housing sector is governed. The gov’t will soon begin creating new regulations to support several of the new pieces of legislation, including the dispute tribunal, and condo manager training. Stakeholders will be invited to provide input on this key phase in the evolution of the Condominium Property Act. For more, please visit www.servicealberta.ca.

A newborn baby girl in Alberta is expected to live for nearly 84 years on average, and newborn boys are expected to live for almost 80 years. The average monthly rent for a two-bedroom apartment ranges from $739 in Medicine Hat to $2,061 in Fort McMurray. About 75% of Alberta’s high school students graduated within three years of entering Grade 10, and almost 82% within five years--a notable improvement since 2004-05. Alberta workers enjoyed the highest average weekly earnings ($1,108.01) in 2013: 22% above the national average. During the past decade, Alberta produced about one-third of the nation’s wheat, slightly more than one-third of the canola crop, and almost half of the barley crop. In 2013, almost half of Albertan’s who volunteered chose to contribute to sports and recreation activities by coaching a team or by officiating or organizing sporting and recreational events.

During this entire time he doesn't eat a thing. Most father penguins lose about 25 pounds while they wait for their babies to hatch. Afterward, they feed the chicks a special liquid from their throats. When the mother penguins return to care for the young, the fathers go to sea to eat and rest.
