President's Message
Accidental Poisoning
It has been a perfect
start to the 2014
summer with
beautiful weather, a
great Stampede and
lots of positive buzz
in Calgary. It is an
above 30C day in
mid-July as I write
this column! It was
great to see all of the
work on Flavelle Park get completed this past
week as we are finally able to close that chapter
in Fairview’s history. We are looking forward
to utilizing that park space all summer and
again for our Fairview Family Festival & Film
Night on September 12th.
I would like to publicly thank Tracy Sanford for
her work on the board over the past few years Tracy has moved on to other things but will be
around to help volunteer for us in the future.
Also a big thanks to Joanne Norton and Shauna
de Freitas, our newest board members this year,
and to all the returning board members for their
continued support and efforts. I am also very
excited to announce that we have filled all of
our executive positions! Thanks to everyone for
stepping up!
We are also very pleased to introduce a new
column in this month’s newsletter that has been
in the works for many months - the Fairview
Business Initiative. This column will highlight
many of the great local small businesses in and
around Fairview. This month’s column will

Summer 2014
Alberta Health Services EMS would like to remind parents
about precautions they can take to prevent childhood poisonings. Ingesting medications, prescription, or over-thecounter products, is the leading cause of accidental poisoning in children. Even small amounts of adult medications
can be seriously harmful, or even fatal to your child if swallowed. Other causes of poisoning are household products,
such as dishwasher tablets and personal care items (mouthwash, nail polish, etc.).
MEDICATION STORAGE
- Store all medications in a locked container and place in an
area inaccessible to children.
- Keep medications in their original child-resistant packaging.
- Do not mix multiple medications inside one bottle.
- Install child locks on all cabinets, or drawers where medications are stored.
SAFETY TIPS
- Ensure visitors to your home keep their personal belongings out of children’s reach. They may contain unsafe items.
- Take extra precautions with medicines that appeal to children such as chewable vitamins, or flavoured cough and
cold syrups.
- Properly dispose of any medications, or toxic household
products no longer in use.
PREVENTION
- Store household products, car supplies, and cosmetics in
locked cupboards, or drawers.
- Apply child safely latches to drawers and cabinets, if they
are within a child’s reach.
- Know and label all plants in and around your home and
garden.
- Antifreeze, windshield washer fluid, and pesticides are extremely poisonous. Even small amounts of these can cause
serious illness when ingested.
- Poisoning information can be obtained by calling the Poison and Drug Information Service (PADIS) at 1-800-3321414.
- In case of a poisoning emergency, call 9-1-1.
- Provide the name of the product ingested or, if it is safe
to do so, a sample of the substance for EMS to inspect on
their arrival.

From design through construction, progress continues
on all three new recreation facilities in the southeast.
There are many different types of parks in Calgary. They
are broadly divided into two categories; manicured parks
and natural area parks. Manicured parks have cropped
grass, landscaped trees, non-native plants and open
spaces. Natural area parks are designed to increase the
diversity of native plants and animals by protecting
natural habitats and allowing natural processes to occur.
Some specialized techniques for improving natural area
parks include; erosion control, weed control, and
planting native vegetation.
At Quarry Park, crews are mobilizing on site to start on
foundation work. Local residents can expect to see
construction activity on the site increase over the next
two year as the recreation facility is built. When open,
the approximately 95,000 sq. ft. facility at 108 Quarry
Park Rd. S.E. will include two pools, a gymnasium, a
fitness centre and library.
The natural area parks in the city provide important
habitat, food, and movement corridors for many species
of birds, animals and native vegetation. They act as
protective buffers between urban areas and sensitive
ecosystems such as rivers and wetlands. Natural area
parks also provide us with a place to exercise, relax,
unwind and enjoy nature.
Foundation work starts on first of
three southeast recreation facilities

Keeping natural areas healthy is everyone’s
responsibility. Please refrain from engaging in these
activities because of their negative impact to nature’s
careful balance: mowing, irrigation, planting, placing
garden furniture, composters, and bird feeders, dumping
of garden waste, and building of bike jumps.
Expect construction on the Great Plains facility to start
in the fall. The arena facility at 5749 76 Ave. S.E. will
feature two multi-purpose rinks that will bring together
ice sports enthusiasts from across the city.
Schematic design work at Seton continues to progress.
The approximately 330,000 sq. ft. regional recreation
facility will feature competition and leisure pools, two
multi-purpose rinks, three gymnasiums, fitness centre,
theatre, library and more. The City will unveil the
schematic design to the community in late 2014.
These new recreation facilities will provide great spaces
to play, learn, grow and connect and are a vital
component in developing active, vibrant and complete
communities. For the latest news and designs for each
new facility, visit www.calgary.ca/newreccentres.

These activities are damaging to the natural area
because they allow for the introduction of weedy
species, and loss of native species diversity and habitat.
These activities are also prohibited under the Parks and
Pathways Bylaw.
Calgarians can help keep Calgary’s natural areas
healthy through encouraging and engaging in
behaviours that support a healthy ecosystem. As
neighbours to the natural area and as members of the
larger community of Calgary, you can play a part in
keeping Calgary natural and beautiful:

stay on the designated trails and pathways;

do not dig holes, plant vegetation, dump garden
waste, mow, or place garden furniture/composters
in the natural area;

do not feed or disturb the wildlife; and

groom pets to remove plant parts, which stops the
spread of weeds.
Flavelle Park
Flavelle Park work was completed in mid-July
with installation of the final two benches next
to the playground as well as our beautiful
bronze donor plaque. Be sure to check out the
final upgrades and make use this great green
space to its fullest!
If you would like to volunteer for restoration activities in a
natural area park you can register online at calgary.ca.
Additional information can be found in the Parks and
Pathways Bylaw (Bylaw Number 20M2003) at calgary.ca
and by calling 311.

Flint Park
The
off-leash area has been seeing a lot more
activity since the fence went in in May. Since
the last newsletter, the final section of pathway
has been paved and the “entering/exiting offleash area” signs have been installed - please
remember that the off-leash area is ONLY the
fenced off area, not before or after, so please
be a courteous dog owner and respect the
boundaries! You may have noticed that the
electrical utility box at the north end of the
park was tagged with graffiti - as such, the
community association requested that this box
be included in the City of Calgary’s utility box
public art program. We were successful and
this box is expected to be painted this summer!
And, of course, the new playground will be
installed in August!
Next Board Meeting - Tue, September 16, 7:00 pm
Fairview Community Building, please contact the Secretary if you wish to attend.

IDA
After many delays, all of the lower level
renovations have been completed at InDefinite Arts. Usage of the building started in
mid-June with IDA’s AGM, our AGM and a
grand re-opening on June 19th where the
Fairview Community Association received a
gift from In-Definite Arts for our financial
(and moral) support of the renovations. The
Optimist Gallery is the centrepiece of this
work and is stunning, especially when art is on
display. Be sure to also check out the Jane
Cameron archives.

Tea & Conversation
The afternoon tea in June was a great success. We discussed the need for a
space to gather in on a regular basis for conversation and activities, as well
as an interest in programming of arts and fitness programs in the community
directed at seniors.
Due to summer closure and holidays at IDA we were not able to get a
meeting space together for July. The next Senior’s Meeting is scheduled for
August 13, 2-4pm at the Fairview Baptist Church, lower level. At this
meeting we will discuss which ideas to move forward on and we hope to set
up a regular meeting and activity schedule.
Please come out to show your support and contribute your ideas! We need
your help to make this program a reality. For more information, call or
email Stacey at 403-474-1305, [email protected]
Special thanks to In-Definite Arts for providing the meeting space.

DOG BITE PREVENTION
“Safety is our top priority. We see so many dog bites every summer that could have been
prevented and many time it's children who are bitten because they are so trusting,” says Alvin
Murray, Animal & Bylaw Services (ABS) North Operation Manager.
Congratulations on a successful Community Cleanup on May 4th.
“Teaching ourselves and our children how to stay safe is the best way to prevent a dog bite.”
The weights collected for this year:
ABS has a few tips to help ensure people and pets interact in a safe and responsible way. Many of
these tips also apply within your own home and with your own pets. ABS is also seeing an
increase in dog bites to children in their own homes.
Organics: 3790kg

Garbage: (4 loads)12485kg
Total: 16275kg
Thank you Fairview Community Association and residents for your commitment to help

Always stay away from stray dogs even if you think you know the dog.
Never try to break up a fight between two animals even if one is your own.
Never tease a dog, or do anything that may hurt it.
Never take away a dog's food or bone, or pull a toy from his mouth.
Never disturb a dog that's sleeping or eating.
Never approach a dog that's with her puppies.
Stay away from a dog that has been tied up and left alone in a public place.
Always keep your face away from dogs.
Never run away from a dog that scares you. Instead, stand like a tree by making your
hands into fists and placing them under your chin. Stand still, do not speak to the dog, and
look at the ground. Never stare into the dog's eyes. Doing these things will show the dog
that you are not a threat.

A Message from Hon. Jonathan Denis QC
As we move into the dog days of summer, I am pleased
with how our province continues to roll forward and be an
economic driver in the Canadian economy. Please see below for some quick facts and for more information, please
visit my facebook and website.
Responsible spending and booming economy
deliver strong balance sheet
The Government of Alberta ended its fiscal year on a positive note with a strong balance sheet after months of uncertainty from volatile oil prices and the June 2013 flooding in southern Alberta. The province achieved a $755
million total surplus. The economy continued to expand,
creating thousands of jobs and drawing ever more people
to the province. The economic growth rate is estimated to
be 3.9 per cent for 2013, which is the fourth consecutive
year above 3 per cent. Alberta’s population also reached
a major milestone in 2013 surpassing four million people,
with a growth rate that is three times the national average.
There were 61,400 new jobs created, while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.6 per cent. The strong labour market attracted a record number of migrants with
more than 50,000 arriving from other countries and another 50,000 from other provinces. In 2013-14, government continued to invest in core areas that are important
to Albertans, including: affordable and accessible health
care; looking after vulnerable Albertans; a productive education system; modern infrastructure that supports community and economic growth; responsible resource development with expanded market access; as well as the
constant evaluation of the effectiveness of spending to
deliver outcomes Albertans expect.
Fiscal Summary highlights
•Operational surplus of $2.5 billion.
•Fiscal plan surplus of $755 million (change in net assets).
•Consolidated Financial Statements deficit of $302 million.
Operational Plan: revenue highlights
•Total revenue was $45.3 billion, nearly 17% higher than
budget due to higher energy prices, along with increased
personal and corporate income tax revenue, investment
income and federal transfers.
•Without federal government transfers for flood
total revenue was $43.7 billion, nearly 13% higher than
budget.
•Non-renewable resource revenue was $9.6 billion, 32%
higher than budget and 23% higher than last year due to
higher oil prices, a lower differential and a lower Canadian
dollar.
•Total tax revenue was $20.3 billion, 6% higher than budget and nearly 10% higher than last year.
•Investment income was $3.2 billion, 50% higher than
budget and 29.5% higher than last year. The majority of
the increase is due to strong returns for the Heritage Fund
and endowment funds.
Operational Plan: spending highlights
•Total operational expense was $41.9 billion, 9.8% higher
than budget and 9.1% higher than last year to pay for the
2013 flood, higher demands in health and human services
and enrollment pressures in education.
•Without flood assistance, operational expense would
have been $39.1 billion, 2.6% higher than budget and
1.9% higher than last year.
•This is well below the population plus inflation rate of
5.6%.
If you want to get in to a league, you’d better
get on it - leagues start in September, but you’re
best off to register by mid-August. A special
youth bowling registration day is held on
August 23rd from 10am to 1pm where kids can
register and bowl two games for free. And it’s
not too late to register your kids in the summer
Kids Bowl Free program and take advantage of
a great deal - each child can bowl two free
games every day until August 31st, shoes not
included.
The Sanderson’s are also strongly committed to
the family-oriented theme of the business. Dave
enforces a no-swearing policy and they have
never once in 20 years had to call the police!
All of the Sanderson family members (Dave,
Lesley, Stacey and David) help run the alley
and the other staff members have all been
involved in bowling leagues or come up
through the youth bowling program. And the
place is abuzz with birthday parties nearly
every weekend.
Capital Plan highlights
•$5 billion was spent on capital projects to build the
schools, hospitals and roads Albertans called for.
•$3.8 billion in direct borrowing helped finance the Capital Plan.
•Capital debt servicing costs were $230 million, or 0.5%
of operational revenue. The debt servicing limit is 3% of
operational revenue.
Savings Plan highlights
•Total savings grew to $23.2 billion.
•The Heritage Savings Trust Fund book value was $15 billion (fair market value of $17.5 billion), following investment returns of 16%.
•The Contingency Account’s balance at March 31, 2014
was $4.7 billion, growing from a $3.3 billion balance the
previous year.
•An additional $1.3 billion is available to be transferred to
the Contingency Account in 2014-15 based on the 201314 year-end results.

Although some things at Toppler have changed
significantly over the years (electronic scoring
becoming standard about 15 years ago,
hardwood flooring changing to acrylic flooring
and bathroom renovations last year), the
nostalgic bowling feel remains strong. But the
decor isn’t the only thing that remains relatively
unchanged. The Sanderson’s core business
philosophy hasn’t changed a bit - service and a
personal connection to their customers remains
as strong as ever. People are at the core of their
business - enjoying the company of every
customer that comes through the door, greeting
every customer with a smile and embracing
youth into their business. Dave wants everyone
who comes to Toppler Bowl to bowl, enjoy
themselves and leave happy.
Summer 2014
Customers consistently remark about the same
things - the service is excellent, the size of the
alley is comfortable and there is a nice, clean,
nostalgic feel. And despite the strong
inflationary pressure in Calgary, the prices at
Toppler remain very reasonable.
It’s easy to see the love Dave has for Toppler
Bowl and the sport of bowling. Despite being at
the age of retirement, Dave has no plans to
retire - he’s enjoying the business too much.
And we’re a richer community for it.

TOPPLER BOWL SCORES BIG IN FAIRVIEW
For nearly 50 years, Fairview has been home
to a distinctive family-run recreational facility
at the heart of this community: Toppler Bowl.
It’s hard to believe it, but owners and
Fairview residents Dave and Lesley
Sanderson occasionally hear a local resident
say they didn’t even know there was a
bowling alley in their community! Well, we
became so enchanted with Toppler Bowl that
we’re going to spread the word.
Dave got heavily into bowling over 50 years
ago and competed seriously in 5-pin bowling.
He won the provincial championship in
Manitoba six times and once in Alberta and
also won the national championship in 1985.
His highest score? A perfect game of 450, of
course. He has came close again scoring 448
Summer 2014
three times, leaving just one corner pin each
time!
Over 20 years ago, a close friend purchased a
Calgary bowling alley that Dave managed for
a few years. Then, 19 years ago, the
opportunity to purchase Toppler Bowl came
up and Dave and Lesley took advantage of the
opportunity becoming the fifth owners of the
alley. The alley at that time had its struggles,
but they saw the potential and knew that by
establishing strong relationships with
customers and bowling groups and by
strengthening their ties to youth bowling, that
Toppler Bowl could do great things.
The bowling industry has certainly taken its
hits over the years and has to compete heavily
with a myriad of other sports and recreational
activities. But despite this, the bowling
leagues are going strong at Toppler - adult
leagues (women’s and mixed) run Monday
through Thursday evenings and senior’s
leagues run on Fridays; youth bowling
leagues run on Saturdays.

Calgarians can help keep natural areas natural
There are many different types of parks in Calgary. They
are broadly divided into two categories; manicured parks
and natural area parks. Manicured parks have cropped
grass, landscaped trees, non-native plants and open
spaces. Natural area parks are designed to increase the
diversity of native plants and animals by protecting natural
habitats and allowing natural processes to occur. Some
specialized techniques for improving natural area parks
include; erosion control, weed control, and planting native vegetation.
The natural area parks in the city provide important habitat, food, and movement corridors for many species of
birds, animals and native vegetation. They act as protective buffers between urban areas and sensitive ecosystems
such as rivers and wetlands. Natural area parks also provide us with a place to exercise, relax, unwind and enjoy
nature.
Keeping natural areas healthy is everyone’s responsibility.
Please refrain from engaging in these activities because of
their negative impact to nature’s careful balance: mowing, irrigation, planting, placing garden furniture, composters, and bird feeders, dumping of garden waste, and
building of bike jumps.
These activities are damaging to the natural area because
they allow for the introduction of weedy species, and loss
of native species diversity and habitat. These activities are
also prohibited under the Parks and Pathways Bylaw.
Calgarians can help keep Calgary’s natural areas healthy
through encouraging and engaging in behaviours that support a healthy ecosystem. As neighbours to the natural
area and as members of the larger community of Calgary,
you can play a part in keeping Calgary natural and beautiful:
•
stay on the designated trails and pathways;
•
do not dig holes, plant vegetation, dump garden
waste, mow, or place garden furniture/composters in the
natural area;
•
do not feed or disturb the wildlife; and
•
groom pets to remove plant parts, which stops
the spread of weeds.
SUDOKU
Read Aloud 15 Minutes!
There are many wonderful reasons to read aloud every
day. It’s a great excuse to cuddle up with somebody special; it’s the perfect opportunity for you and your child to
talk about books (and possibly to groom your little one for
future book club participation); and it’s an ideal excuse for
you to practice your silly voices and funny faces. Research
shows that reading aloud with children is the single most
important thing you can do to prepare a child for reading
and learning.
Reading aloud to young children for as little as fifteen minutes per day has been shown to positively influence brain
development in very young children, with birth to age
three being critical years for the development of language
skills. Reading aloud to preschoolers boosts language development, since the number of words a child knows upon
entering kindergarten correlates with future academic success. Vocabulary, phonics, comprehension and storytelling are all literacy skills that reading aloud helps to build.
Don’t stop reading when your child grows older, big kids
love a read aloud story too!
Reading aloud stimulates young imaginations and instills a
love of reading. And when you read aloud with your child,
you become a role model, demonstrating the importance
of learning and reading to you and to your family. Getting into the habit of reading aloud with school-aged children during the lazy days of summer is an effective way
to halt the summer slide of forgotten knowledge and can
even create gains in your student’s knowledge and reading
skills.

reading and to get parent and family resources see

The rains have (mostly) stopped and we are

Calgary! Flowering perennials, annuals and

gardeners are busy watering, weeding, and
praying for a hail-free summer.
Our July 4th community garden meeting was
held outdoors on a beautiful summer evening
at the brand new picnic tables in Flavelle Park
(and if you haven't been over there to see the
picnic table installations – do so – they are
gorgeous!). We had our first peek at the
outstanding community garden concept design
thanks to committee member and permaculture
designer, Adrian Buckley, and are putting the
final touches on paperwork required by the
City of Calgary for our application. We are
planning a Fairview Community Garden Open
House this fall to announce the site selection
for the garden, and tossing around ideas for a
possible community plant share in the fall... so
stay tuned for updates about those events! We
are always looking for new ideas, so please
come join us and help make these events, and
the future Fairview Community Garden, the
best it can be.
The August meeting will be held on

Spares and Strikes
Our Spares & Strikes bowling night, sponsored by Servus Credit Union, on May 30th was another
successful Fairview event! With about 70 people in attendance, teams bowled the night away and enjoyed a
very social atmosphere. Door prizes, contests, pizza, giveaways and a silent auction rounded out the
evening. We raised just shy of $2000 for the Community Association to continue the important work that
we do. All of the photos from the event have been uploaded to our website at www.fairviewcommunity.ca.

Federation of Calgary Communities
A message from the Federation of Calgary Communities
Building Safe Communities Program: Meet New Neighbours!
Do your part to transition new neighbours into your
community or to meet neighbours who have been in
your community for a while that you haven’t met
yet. There are little things you can do that will go a
long way for bringing neighbours together!
1.
2.
3.
Introduce yourself to your neighbours and ask
them a few questions about themselves. Tell
them some information about yourself too.
Some good starting points could be where they
moved from or how long they’ve been in the
community. Also, new neighbours could use
information about the community association’s
programs and services, how to become a
member, upcoming events, and even great
local businesses or restaurants.
Welcome your neighbour by making a small
yet caring gesture or gift. It can be the
traditional ‘pie’, to a cup of coffee, some
flowers or vegetables from your garden or even
invite them for dinner. Moving is hard work
and a warm meal will be appreciated by your
new neighbours!
After introducing yourself, make the effort to
wave, greet and make small talk with your
neighbours continuously. This encourages
friendly discussion and makes neighbours feel
continuously welcomed.
Ending homelessness is a community affair
A man living in an apartment funded through
Calgary’s 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness
described his 20 years of being homeless as a
darkness he couldn’t escape. “And then an outreach
worker asked me if I wanted a home,” he said. He
laughed because he believed it was impossible. The
outreach worker disagreed. It was possible.
Summer 2014
A year later he describes his new state of being.
“I’d lost me in the darkness,” he said. “I had no
pride. And now, I’m proud of me. It’s not easy, but
it’s sure a lot better than where I was.”
Sometimes, we look at others and wonder, “What is
their problem? Why don’t they clean up? Get a
job?”
The path in and out of homelessness is complex and
challenging. So challenging that when offered a
home, this man was unable to say ‘yes,’ at first.
That’s why we are working together as a
community to find our collective ‘yes.’ We’re
making space in our neighbourhoods to help those
in the darkness of homelessness find their way
home.
Emergency shelters are needed but they’re not a
long-term solution. The long-term solution is
matching people with the kind of housing and
support they need. From the stability of a home,
they are better able to work on the issues that led to
their homelessness.
Governments, non-profit-agencies, businesses, the
faith community, philanthropists and volunteers are
working on Calgary’s 10 Year Plan. The man
described above is one of nearly 6,000 people who
have received housing with support since the Plan
was launched in 2008.
It has taken a community to make the progress
we’ve made over the past six years. It will take
community to continue efforts to help those stuck
in homelessness. If you would like to learn more,
please visit www.calgaryhomeless.com

Fairview Developments
In an effort to keep residents of Fairview informed
on property developments in our area, we will try
to include information on such developments in this
column on a monthly basis.
A proposal for The Travelodge on Macleod Trail
(next to The Keg) has been submitted to tear down
this building to be replaced with a larger, modern
hotel by La Quinta.
The former nightclub space (Rockin’ Horse Saloon,
Snatch, Desperados, etc.) at the corner of 73rd Ave
and Fisher Street S.E. has applied to change the use
from restaurant/bar to retail with Dollarama being
the key tenant in this building. A smaller
subdivided retail space for rent is also included.
Hillsboro Place Update
The Hillsboro Place meeting on June 12th at the
Fairview Baptist Church saw about 35 people
turnout including the property owner, property
manager, traffic study team and Ward 9 Councillor
Gian Carlo Carra. Many different concerns were
discussed or addressed and the property owner and
manager have committed to ensuring that the
property is kept maintained - if residents have any
concerns about the property maintenance, they can
Summer 2014
contact the Hillsboro Place manager, Mina, directly
at: 403-253-9679 or email
[email protected]. Thanks to the Church and
John for allowing us to use their space and to
everyone who came out to share concerns.
At the board meeting the following week, the
Community Association formalized our comment
submission to the City of Calgary for this land use
amendment. Please note that we can only address
the height relaxation in these comments, so all of
the other important issues (property maintenance,
safety, garbage, etc.) can not be formally addressed
at this stage, but will be considered at the
Development Permit stage, likely late this year or
early 2015. The full comments (too long to be
included here) can be read on our website
(www.fairviewcommunity.ca - scroll down to
Hillsboro Place update).
At the meeting there was also mention of a
realignment of Flint Road outside of Winners to
deal with increasing traffic volumes at that
intersection - this missed the cutoff for Roads’ 2014
improvements so will be addressed in 2015.
