Message
This past month the community planted 44 NeighbourWoods trees. Four years ago we planted 135.
That’s 179 new boulevard trees planted throughout the community in less than 5 years. Well done!
We are looking forward to another spooky Children’s Halloween Party at the end of the month. If
your family is new to the neighbourhood, it might
help to know the Haunted Skate Shack is a tradition
going back more than a decade. There is a scary
version for the young ones and a really scary version for those a little older. Special thanks to Jessica
and volunteers for organizing again this year.
RKH Wine & Cheese Nights have returned for another season. We are very fortunate to have Sebastien and Stacey living and volunteering in the
neighbourhood. The September tasting featured
wines from J Webb Wine Merchants and cheese
from Springbank Cheese Co. The November tasting will feature wines from the Okanagan Valley.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.richmondknobhill.ca.
We are also preparing for the 2nd season of Learn
to Skate. Again for those new to the neighbourhood, this is an outdoor skating program for
young skaters. Last season we ran a U6 program.
Inspired by last season’s Canada Sweden Men’s
Olympic Learn to Skate Replay game, we will expand to U8 and introduce U8 grassroots hockey
for skaters. We play at 10am on Sunday mornings,
ice and weather permitting. A skate change area is
offered inside the skate shack and on the outdoor
rubber patio. Hot chocolate is offered after each
session. Registration will be available online closer
to November.
The RKHCA Board meets the 2nd Wednesday of the
month in the Skate Shack. Residents are welcome
to drop in and share new ideas for community
programming, local improvements or emerging
advocacy issues.

Development Committee Developing Community
Summer is behind us now. As we settle into fall it’s time to
fondly remember those warm days and activities of summer.
Marda Gras was a great event for your Richmond Knob Hill
Community Association and Development Committee as mentioned in the September newsletter. If you visited our booth
at the event you may have seen our community map and perhaps even placed your “dot” on where you live. We had 46 dots
posted by people who live in Richmond Knob Hill Community
and 48 dots from those living around our community. Your Development Committee representatives and Board engaged as
many people as would speak to us at the event. The diversity
of our community is what strengthens our community and
makes Richmond Knob Hill a great place to live. Couples, families, retired people, and people from other parts of the world
including China and Norway make Richmond Knob Hill their
home. In order to support this diversity, we need different type
of residential development.
In addition to our community map we had a community tree
and a tree trivia challenge contest to promote trees in our
neighborhood. Our tree ‘grew’ 42 leaves that hot sunny day
with children of all ages stopping to create and post their leaf
or to bring their leaf that they had created from the monthly
newsletter. We are delighted to report that Aurora How was
the winner of our leaf draw, the winner of two books donated
by Monkey Shines books. The winner of our tree trivia challenge, a $100 certificate to Bow Point Nursery, was Yi Li Lou,
both member of our community.
Included is a short profile of each of our winners:
Yi Li Lou
Years living in Richmond Knob Hill: 7 years, having moved
from Shanghai the largest city proper in the world, population
24 million in 2013.
Family: Married and with a daughter who studied at Western
Canada High and University of Calgary, now working in Japan
at Toyota
Likes Richmond Knob Hill: because it’s close to Crowchild
Trail and is a friendly community
Aurora How
Years living in Richmond Knob Hill: All her life, 8 years.
Family: Mom and dad are Jessica and Chris How and a dog
named, “Camden”. Aurora had a great summer when she enjoyed swimming at Calgary’s outdoor pool just off 14th street.

Second-guessing
your investments?
In fact, the day after this interview, Camden and she were
going for a swim at the pool.
Aurora’s birthday is October
6th and she’s in grade 4. She
was thrilled with the book
she won, “Acorn to Oak Tree”
because her family planted
an oak tree in the front yard.
She takes Tai Kwon Do and
likes playing with remote
controlled cars.
Likes Richmond Knob Hill: Because it’s quiet and she
is close to the playground where she can go and play.

cell tower update
letter to rogers
Jim Klassen
Manager, Spectrum Operations
#400, 639 5 Av SW
Calgary, AB T2P 0M9
August 22, 2014
Dear Mr. Klassen,
Re: Proposed cell tower at 1919 19 Street SW
With regards to the proposed Roger’s Cell tower at 1919 19
Street, Calgary, AB, I would like to express my disappointment in the process and lack of appropriate consultation.
First, I would like to state unequivocally that I am not opposed to cell towers, and understand the need to build
them. However, we also need to look at their effect on the
community and I believe The City of Calgary has created
an effective process for determining need and location –
a process that was ignored in this instance.
That this project was granted an exemption to a City-run
review under the CPC Guidelines came as a surprise to my
office, the communities, and the neighbours in the area.
City of Calgary administration has maintained a consistent position on the cell tower. In a June 12 letter sent
from the General Manager of Planning, Development and
Assessment department, Rollin Stanley, to Rogers and Industry Canada it was clearly stated, “The City of Calgary
does not support the replacement of the Scout hall amateur radio tower with a combined commercial cellular service/amateur radio tower.” The City has received no formal
response from Rogers or Industry Canada.
While I accept that such a decision is outside the jurisdiction of The City or my office, Industry Canada’s ruling of an
exemption has led to a number of frustrations:
1.That The City was not informed that construction was
beginning or that the project was moving forward.
2.That, to date, The City of Calgary and my office have yet
to receive an official application or ruling from Industry
Canada granting the exemption, or defining the ad hoc
process being carried out, despite numerous requests.
3.That responsibility for approval is apparently being
foisted upon The City despite Industry Canada giving a
clear mechanism around The City’s process of engagement and consultation.
10
While an ad hoc consultation process was undertaken by
the applicant after a request from Industry Canada, it was
not part of any clear process within the CPC Guidelines
and was wholly independent of The City. To my office’s
knowledge there was no set of standards that were followed.
Despite the fact that cell tower approval is a federal jurisdiction, the Member of Parliament office has informed me
that The City of Calgary is expected to submit a position
of concurrence or non-concurrence. If the expectation is,
in fact, for The City of Calgary to submit a recommendation of concurrence or non-concurrence, then clarity on a
formal process needs to be given from Industry Canada.
Our office has been given no formal timelines, and no formal process through which The City might undertake this.
Without going through The City of Calgary’s entire review
process, The City is in no position legally to insert itself
into the application.
Because an exemption to our processes was granted, The
City has no mechanism to require the applicant to adhere
to our processes. These circumstances have been a point
of major frustration for our office, City of Calgary administration and the local community members. It is unacceptable for a governing body that exists to protect the
rights of the individuals living in the community to refuse
to give clarity on the very process meant to protect them.
It is my opinion that a full review, done entirely through
The City of Calgary’s processes, would be fair for the affected communities and neighbours. Accordingly, I am
formally asking Industry Canada to instruct Rogers, in
writing, with copies to The City of Calgary, my office and
the communities, to submit an application to The City in
respect of this cell tower, in order to protect the rights of
the communities and individuals affected. I strongly urge
the Member of Parliament to make the same request.
Sincerely,
Evan Woolley

A
Knob Hill community has been home to Elfriedé Holtkamp’s couture business for over 60 years, providing
the ideal environment and great location for this type
of training where students can experience how an actual couture and tailoring atelier operates. Please visit
our website for more information www.ecoleholtcouture.com about the programs and admissions.
Knob Hill Community
t Ecole Holt Couture School of Couture Sewing
and Design (EHC) our mission is to connect the
dots for career minded talent in high-end fashion. Our full-time programs unite the art of design, the
science of original pattern making, and the techniques
of custom fitting with the time honoured craft of couture sewing and tailoring - both ladies and men - for the
purposes of self-employment and self-directed careers.
Elfriedé Holtkamp, founder of EHC, created the program
curriculum from her lifetime experience as a professional
couturier providing services to social elites, business
professionals and local celebrities. Born and educated
in Europe, Elfriedé worked as a freelance designer and
couturier before immigrating to Canada in 1954, establishing her home and atelier in Calgary. Recognising that
education is crucial to the sophisticated requirements
of today’s fashion industry, and with a deficiency-gap in
institutional training, Elfriede established EHC in 2007.
EHC offers a full-time provincially designated private vocational training program. Certificate (2 years) and advanced Diploma (2 years) Programs are designed to take
the novice to the practiced professional. Class sizes of
four to six participants guarantee individual attention,
helping each student to grow professionally while they
express their creativity and develop technical skills. The
skills we teach are intensely hands-on. Many skills have
remained trade-secrets, closely guarded within the
high end fashion community... until now. Because of Elfriedé’s professional knowledge combined with her passion and interest in the future of couture, she embraces
those eager to learn the traditional art of dressmaking
and tailoring, and in applying those skills to today’s
market. Additionally, the school is committed to using
fabrics and materials which are environmentally sound
and ethically produced, creating quality garments that
have lasting value. EHC believes in sustainable business
practices, supporting the local economy, and in helping
the young (and not so young) to build wholesome satisfying lives and careers. Yearly school term runs from
September to June. Every November, EHC hosts a fund-

PLEASE
No Dumping, No Speeding &
Pick up Puppy’s Poop
By far the biggest source of feedback to the Community
Association are complaints about dog poop, speeding
and garbage dumping. Typically the former is recognized as a neighbour-to-neighbour lack of consideration. The last two are typically blamed on those passing through. Well think again. All 3 are most typically
offences committed by neighbours against neighbours.
How do I know? “We would pick up our dog’s poop but
the bag accidentally fell out of my husband’s pocket as
we walked over” to exercise our dog off leash in a nonoff leash park. Yes, I’ve heard it. And yes, we offered one
of our own bags.
Then just this last week, we teased the builder next
door about the blue couch, mattress, carpet underlay
and shower doors spilling out of his already full dumpster. He was hopping mad which was great motivation.
Turns out he located an address label amongst the illegally dumped renovation garbage. Sure enough the
address was a few blocks away and the owner was renovating. It makes little difference whether it is dumping
in a builder dumpster or at the Community Hall. It’s rude
and it’s an offense.
RKH is a great place to live! Let’s not spoil it for each other. Extend the same respect and consideration to your
neighbours that you expect in return.
If the offense is egregious; take a picture, record a license plate, report to 3-1-1.

design with the convenience and affordability of
unique stock plans.
For the final community tasting of the year we will focus
not on a store but a region, our own Okanagan Valley.
With close to 200 wineries, the region has many gems
waiting to be discovered and with it being so close we
can easily make weekend attempts at it! Let’s taste some
aromatic whites, big reds and a few surprises. Tickets
can be purchased online for $35 at www.richmondknobhill.ca and will include a wall map of the valley with
131 wineries on it. This will really put into perspective
what a plentiful and still somewhat undiscovered valley
it is. Tasting is from 7-9pm and will feature local sommelier, Sebastien and cheese guru Shawn of Springbank
Cheese. See you there!

All of our designs, from 4-plexes to single family
homes, can be modified to suit your individual
needs.
Every plan incorporates the same elegance as our
custom portfolio; I am confident PDR plans are
unlike anything in the Calgary market.
Beautiful design. Beautiful price.

News from Western Canada
High School. Home of the
Redhawks!
Richmond School
October is here and we are one month into the new
school year. Welcome to the new teaching staff we have
at Richmond Elementary this year, along with all our
students both returning and new.
One of the most important changes at our school affects everyone in our community. As we are surrounded
by both a school zone and playground zone, please remember that there are new standardized hours governing these zones. Both our school and playground zones,
which limit all vehicles to 30km/hr, are NOW IN EFFECT
from 7:30am until 9:00pm. We ask that you please use
caution and only go 30kn/hr when passing our school.
There are many children and families who utilize the
building and our playground daily, including weekends.
Please keep our area safe and use common sense when
passing not only ours, but all playground and school
zones within the city.
Our school will be having a Casino Fundraiser coming
up on October 12th and 13th at the Elbow River Casino.
We are granted a casino every 18 months, and the funds
raised from the two days and evenings are essential to
making sure that activities and enhancements to benefit all students at Richmond School can be realized. If
you are interested in volunteering, please email us at:
[email protected]
I would like to thank parents and the community for
their support of Richmond School.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Congratulations to Western Canada High School’s IB
students for their outstanding 2013-2014 results. There
were a combined 265 Grade 11 and Grade 12 students
who wrote exams in May 2014, with a record 51 of those
students receiving a full IB diploma (nine of which were
granted French Immersion bilingual diplomas). Our
students came out ahead of the world average in every
subject area, with our IB diploma recipients averaging
36 out of a possible 45 points (well above the world average of 29.9 points). For the second time in three years,
Western had a student achieve a perfect 45 points. Alice
Z. achieved the perfect score this year (something that
only 100 -200 students in the world achieve). We wish all
our Western graduates the best of success in their future
endeavours.
Cross country, Football, Girls Soccer and Volley Ball seasons are in full swing. For more details check our website: http://schools.cbe.ab.ca/b816/.

It’s Time to Test for Radon!
Have you been thinking about testing your home for radon? As it happens, the ideal time to test for radon is between the months of October and April. The reason for
this is that the windows and doors to your home generally remain closed due to cold weather. By keeping the
windows and doors closed radon builds up, which allows you to get a more accurate reading of the radon
level in your home.
At DQS Dental Care
Dr. Lori Grandan &
Dr. James Chen
are dedicated to providing the best
quality and care for you and your family.
Radon is a radioactive gas produced naturally in soil and
rock as uranium breaks down. It is tasteless, colourless
and odourless. Due to its nature, radon can accumulate
to a high level indoors and pose a serious health risk.
Long-term exposure to radon can increase your risk of
developing lung cancer and is the leading cause of lung
cancer in non-smokers.
The amount of radon in your home varies. The only way
to know if you and your loved ones are at a higher risk
for developing lung cancer due to radon exposure is to
test your home. Testing is both easy and inexpensive. It
requires placing a radon detector in the lowest level of
your home (such as the basement or main floor) where
it will not be disturbed. Health Canada recommends
long-term testing, lasting a minimum of three months.
Once the testing period is over, the radon detector is
collected and mailed to a laboratory for analysis.
If the radon level in your home is higher than the Health
Canada guideline (200 becquerels per cubic metre or
Bq/m³), it is recommended that you take appropriate
measures to decrease the radon level. Health Canada
recommends reducing the radon level to as low as possible during remediation, as there is still a small health
risk from a radon level below the guideline.
2508 Richmond Road SW
403.686.2225
www.dqsdental.ca
The Lung Association, Alberta and NWT (“TLA”) is striving to raise awareness about radon and wants to make
radon detectors easily accessible. To learn more about
radon and radon testing please contact Amy Elefson
at TLA. Educational presentations can also be booked
through Amy.

Did you know that Canadians are often at a disadvantage when
they try to do business here at home? As a nation, we have
greater free trade access for foreign firms and investors wanting to do business in Canada than Canadians have.
While international trade is important, internal trade barriers
are absolutely hammering both consumers and employers. It’s
estimated that internal trade barriers cost the country several
billion dollars a year. While no one seems to know exactly how
much, some believe the hit to Canada’s economy could be as
high as $50 billion a year. Whatever the number is, it is staggering.
Back in 2006, Canada had free trade agreements with only five
countries. Today, Canada has binding free trade agreements
with 43 countries around the world, making up half the global
marketplace. During that time, little has been done to improve
the movement of goods and services within our own borders.
These made-in-Canada restrictions are putting us at a disadvantage.
It restricts consumer choices and drives up prices. Frankly, it’s
not very efficient. The situation has to change if the country
is going to remain competitive within the global marketplace.
Businesses are operating today in a very competitive global
market. If we Balkanize our economy into 13 regional ones, it
will be much more difficult for Canadian companies to become
globally competitive.
Our Conservative government is making it a top priority to improve this situation.
Trade is vital within Canada, just like it is beyond our borders. At
a time when Canada is reaching new trade agreements around
the world that seek to eliminate irritants and barriers to international trade, our government is working here at home to
eliminate domestic regulation that leads to increased and unnecessary costs for our businesses, which in turn limits growth
and job creation.
Our government has created a new internal trade barriers index, to help increase knowledge of the barriers to domestic
trade and identity priority areas to take action.
Nearly 40 percent of Canada’s trade occurs within its borders.
Making it easier to move goods and services is in our own best
interest.

Council priorities for 2015-2018
Approved in May 2014, Council Priorities 2015 – 2018
are set by City Council and focus on Calgarians and the
services they want and need to achieve their goals. They
include defined outcomes for each of the five priority
areas and 44 strategic actions to provide direction for
administration.
To develop the priorities, City Council considered trends,
citizen engagement results, legislation, long term plans,
economic indicators and the needs of day to day operations. Council Priorities help guide City departments as
they create their business plans and budgets, called
Action Plan 2015 – 2018, within the spending limits set
by Council. Working together, City departments will collaborate to realize the outcomes set in Council Priorities.
The draft Action Plan will be released in early November for public review and comment followed by Council
deliberations November 24-December 5. To learn more,
please visit calgary.ca/actionplan or contact me at 403268-2430.

CLOSET COLLECTORS
In North America it is a little known fact that nearly 90% of the population has some
type of money collection. This might be just a few pennies that are no longer being
minted or a coin that looks different. It could be something you were given as a tip
or it could be something over 100 years old. It may be something you picked out
of change or a one or two-dollar bill that you have kept. Perhaps it was something
inherited or leftover change from a vacation. Invariably these heirlooms or curiosities
are in a box in the attic, stuffed into an old trunk or suitcase, stored in a jar or album
or they may be rattling around the bottom of a sock drawer. Virtually all of us have
this sort of money somewhere in our home.
The Calgary Numismatic Society (CNS) is one of Canada’s oldest and most active
coin clubs. Founded in 1950, members of the CNS have been leaders in the study,
preservation and informing others on the value of their coins, paper money, tokens,
merchant script (e.g. Canadian Tire money), and medals, both military and civilian.
Numismatics is the study of money in all its forms so the CNS is more than just a
coin club. It may also be your introduction into the hobby of coin collecting or a way
of having questions about money answered without the worry of having to sell your
collection on the spot.
The CNS welcomes visitors and new members. We meet ten times a year on the fourth
Tuesday of the month (except July and August) at the Woodcreek Community Centre
1991 Woodcreek Dr. SW, Calgary. The meetings begin at 7:30 pm.
The CNS has an active youth program known as the Coinivores for those
age 6-17. This group meets the second Saturday of each month in the
Community Room of the Calgary Co-op at 8818 Macleod Tr. SE from 2-4 pm.

At a CNS meeting you can ask as many questions as you like, show a few examples

have or be directed on how to find out more about the money we all have somewhere
in our home. The CNS website is as follows:
