Edgemont Ravine
Edgebrook Dr. & Edgebrook Blvd. NW
35.5 hectares of networking ravines in the northwest section of the
city are completely surrounded by the community of Edgemont.
The naturalized marsh was one of the first to be constructed
as part of the water management scheme in a community
development. The community and park were established in the
late 1970s. Access to the ravines is available through the parking
lot on the east side of Edgebrook Blvd. NW.
Ranchlands Park
700 Ranchlands Blvd. NW.
Ranchlands Park occupies about 12 hectares in the community
of Ranchlands in the northwest part of the city. The park was
established when the community was developed in the 1970s.
Nose Hill Park
5620 14 St. NW
Area: 1129 hectares
Nose Hill Natural Environment Park lies in the northwest part of
the city, surrounded by 12 residential communities. The park was
created in 1980 and covers over 11 square kilometres. The hill
most likely gets its name from the fact that, from certain locations
and with a little imagination, it looks like a nose.

BY THE
LIGHT
OF THE
MOON
Gardening by the phases of the moon
February 3
Full Moon (waning)
As the moon wanes, the energy is drawing down.
Strong gravitational pull but moonlight is decreasing
putting energy into the roots.
February 11
Last Quarter (waning)
Decreased gravitational pull and moonlight. A resting
period. Take cuttings from plants you wish to propagate. Dry herbs, flowers and fruit. If you want to control
growth or encourage rooting, perform the necessary
activities during the waning moon.
February 18
New Moon (waxing)
Increasing moonlight, lunar gravity pulls water up
encouraging plant growth and proliferation. Grafting,
transplanting, re-potting, and watering. Gather herbs
used for essential oils. Oil content is more concentrated at this time.
February 25
First Quarter (waxing)
Moonlight is strong, encouraging leaf growth. It is a
good time for planting, especially two days before the
full moon. Take cuttings from plants you wish to propagate. Fertilize as close to the full moon as possible.

Website: http://www.cbe.ab.ca • Email: [email protected]
What does a Trustee do?
As a Board of Trustees, we are elected to govern the
Calgary Board of Education (CBE) in accordance with the
School Act of Alberta. Our job is to represent, lead and
serve parents, students and all Calgarians in matters of
public education.
Our focus is on students and student achievement. On
behalf of the community, Trustees provide leadership
for the CBE by defining its mission, the results we
want to achieve for students and expectations we
have for how the CBE will operate. We then monitor
actual performance against these expectations. This
monitoring takes place at public board meetings.
Trustees also engage our parents and communities.
We want to ensure we are delivering and maintaining
a school system that reflects local priorities, values and
expectations. Trustees are expected to communicate
the views and decisions of the board back to their
constituents.
Finally, Trustees are advocates for the CBE and its
students. Education is regulated and funded by the
Government of Alberta. Our advocacy work includes
talking to the Minister of Education, MLAs and other
government officials about the needs of our students
and our school system.
Overall, the job of the Board of Trustees is to listen to our
communities; guide the work of the school district; and
approve plans, policies and the annual budget. Trustees
are expected to make decisions that consider the needs
of the entire school system, rather the only representing
the interests of our ward constituents.
We want to hear from you on matters concerning
student learning and public education in Calgary. Your
input on topics and issues related to kindergarten to
Grade 12 education is important to us.
We welcome your comments, feedback and
questions. You can contact the Board of Trustees at
[email protected].
Follow the Calgary Board of Education on Twitter @yycbedu.

February Is Heart Month
Do you know the signs and symptoms of a heart attack
and what to do if someone experiences these? Knowing
can make the difference between life and death.
Recognizing and responding immediately to the warning signs of a potential heart attack can significantly improve survival and recovery. February is Heart Month
- take the time to be heart safe and learn how you can
reduce your risk.
Know the signs of a heart attack
(Any or all of these signs & symptoms may occur)
• Chest pain described as crushing, squeezing, pressure
or chest heaviness;
• Pain that moves beyond the chest such as shoulder,
arm, neck or jaw pain;
• Shortness of breath, sweating or nausea and vomiting.
What to do when seconds count
• Call 9-1-1 immediately. Early treatment can greatly reduce
heart damage and make the difference of life and death.
• Treatment starts the moment EMS arrives. Paramedics
can provide oxygen, start an intravenous and perform
an electrocardiogram (ECG).
• Paramedics can also administer important medications in the early minutes of a heart attack to lessen
heart damage.
• During transport, EMS will also share information with
the hospital so definitive treatment can begin immediately on arrival.
• Take a CPR/AED (automated external defibrillator) course.
Training is widely available from many reputable organizations. It’s easy, inexpensive, and only takes a few hours.
Reduce your risk
• Heart attack risk factors include:
• Obesity
• Sedentary lifestyle
• Smoking
• High cholesterol
• Age / Gender
• Family history
Speak with your doctor about how to treat your modifiable risk factors and learn to be heart safe.

Why: Why do X’s at the end of a letter signify
kisses?
Because: In the Middle Ages, when people were
unable to read or write, documents were often
signed using an X. Kissing the X represented
an oath to fulfill obligations specified in the
document. The X and the kiss eventually
became synonymous.

Peace Lily (Spathiphyl-
lum wallisii)
74 Monthly Community Newsletters
Delivered to 365,000 Households
Across 132 Calgary Communities
Peace Lilies are native to the South American rain
forests where they grow on the forest floor. The soil
is rich in peat moss and humus, providing the plant
with decayed organic material, bark, and aeration for
the roots.
Advertise Now
403.263.3044
www.great-news.ca
The rain forests are warm and humid, and being on
the forest floor under the cover of the tall trees provides shade from the hot sun; this is the perfect growing environment for Spathiphyllum.
So, what is the perfect growing environment for a
Peace Lily in your home?
Simulate the natural environment of the forest floor
where the sunlight is indirect and dappled; a north
or western exposure is the best. Keep your lily about
6 – 8 feet away from the window; this allows for consistent light levels; maintain temperatures 65 – 80 degrees Fahrenheit and avoid cold drafts. Misting your
lily often provides humidity and keeps the leaves
clean and glossy allowing for better photosynthesis.
Rich potting soil with humus or peat moss, such as an
orchid type of soil will allow for drainage and the necessary aeration for the roots. Avoid potting mixtures
that contain soil as they will be too heavy and may
contain fungus or pests, and may also contain fertilizer, which the Peace Lily needs very little of.
Even when we provide all the necessary requirements for our lily, we may still see some symptoms of
problems. The most common symptom is brown leaf
tips. This could indicate that your Peace Lily has too
much light or too much fertilizer.
A droopy Peace Lily is wilted, usually from a lack of
water, but will recover quite quickly. Be sure to water
your lily until the excess water runs out the bottom
of the pot. A Peace Lily that droops often (more than
once a week) may mean that it needs to be re-potted.
