I would like to recognize and thank Mr.
Jaydel Gluckie for all of his hard work and
service as President over the last four years.
It is going to be a busy year! We are
presently updating the Association’s
governance and business plans in order to
make the best use of our resources and time.
Central to this is the creation of a community Engagement Strategy.
As a Community Association, determining how best to reach out to
community members and engage them, is a top priority. We would
welcome any ideas community members might have in this regard.
Lastly, we look forward to working with the Residents Association and
supporting their never-ending quest to make McKenzie Towne one of
the best communities to call home.
Should you have any questions, suggestions or concerns as they relate
to the community, do not hesitate to contact us by email at:

Sincerely, Stephanie Kusie

Construction Zone Safety
Imagine having to look both ways before walking down the
hallway to your next meeting. Picture yourself having to
constantly look back while working on that report at your desk.
Envision a workplace where there is a risk of getting seriously
injured each time you get up to discuss your work with a
colleague. This is reality for those who are working on our city
roads.
Keep an eye out for construction zones and obey the posted
speed limits. While workers may not always be present, there
may be unseen dangers such as uneven roadway or veering
lanes. The City would like to remind all of those using the roads
that when we watch out for each other, and show patience and
courtesy, road work can be completed safely and efficiently.

Living with Creation
Creation as a noun implies creation as a verb and
vice versa.
Rev. Bruce R. Elvis Sheasby
Creation often happens in the presence
of need and inspiration. Sometimes the
need is as simple as self-expression.
Children are, by nature, wonderful
creators.
The story is told of a 3-year-old girl
drawing a picture when her mother comes
by to ask her what she’s doing. “I’m
drawing a picture of God,” the girl says.
“But no one knows what God looks like,”
the mother replies. To which the daughter
answers “Well, they’ll know after I’m
finished my drawing!”
Our First Nations brothers and sisters
have a great respect for the sacredness of
Creation. This extends beyond a belief in a
Grace
Land
YOUR
10:30 a.m.
Pg. 13 June 2016 ™
Creator; to a profound appreciation for the
sanctity of nature and life, a great respect and
appreciation for the wisdom and beauty to
be found there and a deep sense of
responsibility for being stewards of Creation.
Stewardship of Creation implies the activity
of being creators. Respect and value shown
to Creation points to appreciation and
attention to be given in the activity of living in
it and caring for it. The milieu for being
creators includes Creation or nature itself,
but also the man-made structures,
knowledge and activity that make up our
environment. The context in which we live
and the needs that we encounter, when met
with inspiration, ignites a creative spark that
lies within each one of us. When that
creative spark is used positively, the resulting
activity of creation is indeed something
sacred to be cultivated to serve our needs,
and the needs of others, with grace, purpose
and passion.
Exercise Creation
1. Consider a need that you may have and
then brainstorm and make a list of many
possible ways to fulfill that need. Allow
yourself to be inspired and think outside of
the box. You may want to involve others in
this process.
2. Evaluate your options and pick one or
two possible solutions, outcomes or
projects to try to create.
3. Consider a need of others - or one
that you share with others - and follow the
same process to brainstorm possible
solutions and then work on creating one or
two possible solutions, outcomes or
projects to try to create.
Bruce Reinhold Elvis Sheasby is a life coach
with a passion for helping others connect
Inspirational Core Values to everyday life.
He is leader of Your Grace Land church
services and co-host of Your Grace Land
Radio. His upcoming book is Your Grace

Tips to Help with Air Conditioner Shopping
As with any major
purchase, when
you buy a new
air conditioner
for your home,
research is
essential as well
as taking care to
avoid making certain common mistakes.
Consider the following when shopping
for a new air conditioner.
What type should you get?
You’ll want to decide between a room
air conditioner, a package system, or the
most common variety, a split-system air
conditioner. For whole-house cooling,
the split-system A/C is usually the best
option. As for brand name, you’re always
better off going with an established
brand with a reputation for quality. Do
some research, and discuss your options
with a trusted HVAC contractor.
Pg. 14 June 2016 How efficient should it be?
How big should your new A/C be?
Cooling efficiency is measured by SEER
(Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio). The
higher the number, the more efficiently
the A/C will cool your home, the less
you’ll pay on electric bills, and the
higher the upfront cost of your new air
conditioner. However, consider this: In
our northern climate, you won’t be using
the A/C as much as someone farther
south. As a result, it will take longer to
reap enough energy savings to defray the
extra cost of a high-efficiency A/C.
Make sure your contractor takes the
time and effort to calculate your home’s
cooling load before recommending the
capacity of your new A/C. Over sizing
an air conditioner can be just as bad as
under sizing it, causing energy waste,
stressed parts, and uneven cooling.
What advanced features should
you get?
Should you get a maintenance
contract?
Your A/C will operate more efficiently if
it’s equipped with a variable-speed air
handler, thermal expansion valve and
multi-stage compressor.
To take advantage of a higher-efficiency
air conditioner, you’ll want to provide it
with annual professional maintenance.
A comprehensive maintenance contract
will ensure that your A/C gets the
TLC it needs to operate efficiently and
effectively.

air conditioner, please contact

Calgary Community Standards - River Safety Tips
Your safety and the safety of others should always be top of mind. Rafters, boaters and paddlers need to be aware of water levels,
temperature, current speed, cloudy water conditions, and river hazards including bridge abutments, trees and other large debris in
the water that can catch, trap or overturn vessels.
Being impaired while on the water is never tolerated, nor is the transport or consumption of alcohol.
Always be prepared
Your safety is your responsibility. All river passengers must wear a life jacket or personal floatation device (PFDs) on the water.
Make sure it fits well and is fastened properly. All river vessels must also have a sounding device such as a whistle, and a buoyant
heaving line (throw-bag) no less than 15 metres long.
Always tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return. Arrange drop off and pick up points before you enter on
the river. Leave emergency contact phone numbers with someone who can report that you are overdue.
Be aware of river conditions
Although our City rivers may appear calm in some areas, this isn’t always the
case. The City has tools and resources available to help Calgarians check river
conditions before you begin your trip. If river flows are high, especially after a
major rainfall, postpone your trip until the flows have returned to safer levels.
Keep in mind that flows can change quickly.
Visit calgary.ca/floodinfo for the latest information including flood advisories.

Rivers: Data and Advisories mobile app.

stable and permanent
access to choice in
education. It is about
meeting the needs and
interests of children
so that they can reach
their full potential. Alberta has a long and proud tradition of
offering parents and students a wide array of choices when it
comes to their education. Alberta has one of the best education
systems in the world, and I encouraged the government to
keep it that way. On May 2 my motion was voted on and
received unanimous support from all parties in the Alberta
Legislature. This was quite an occurrence after I was kicked
out of the legislature two weeks earlier for standing up to
support Alberta’s kids. I caught some as of yet unexplained bias
against my motion. As it was recognized my actions were in
fact in support of fair play and on behalf of parental choice in
education I was invited the next day to return to the legislature.
Here is a picture of me with my colleagues MLA Dave Rodney
(Calgary-Lougheed) and Richard Gotfried (Calgary-Fish Creek),
right after the vote on Motion 504.
Budget 2016
Albertans deserve a government that will respect their hardearned tax dollars and show leadership by responsibly managing
debt. As Albertans tighten their belts during this economic
downturn, it’s worrisome that our government refuses to do
the same. A recent poll indicates that the majority of Albertans
do not believe that the NDP plan will diversify the economy
and that Budget 2016 will cripple future generations with
debt. What do you think of Budget 2016? What would you do
differently? www.abpcmla.ca/engage
Pg. 16 June 2016 April 10 to 16 was National Volunteer Week. Thank you to
the many constituents who volunteer in our local community
associations. Are you a community volunteer? Volunteers
have shared some amazing stories with me and I would love to
hear yours. Please tell me about your volunteer story at Ric.

This spring, my Caucus launched ENGAGE a new public
engagement initiative. ENGAGE’s purpose is to spark public
conversation and to seek feedback from Albertans. As your
MLA I want to know what is important to you and I want to
hear your ideas. Building a stronger province depends on us
working together. I encourage you to use ENGAGE as an
instrument to provide your feedback. www.abpcmla.ca/engage

Summer Time Fun
NEW LOCATION!
With summer just around the corner it is time to take
advantage of all that nature has to offer. This is the best time
of the year to get outside and play games that strengthen large
motor coordination. Gross motor development enables your
child to strengthen muscles and bones.
The preschool years offer a natural window of opportunity for
children to develop their gross motor skills because their brains
are wired to move their bodies. This is why running and chasing
makes a young child giggle with delight and kicking a ball brings
on the biggest smiles. Strengthening gross motor skills allows
children to take part in a variety of recreational activities which
keeps children active and helps strengthen positive mental
health. Below are a few outdoor activities that are easy, fun,
and help strengthen gross motor development.
Exploring and Walking on Uneven Surfaces
There are millions of
ways to promote large
motor coordination at
the playground from
swinging on swings to
monkeying around on
the uneven bars. The
walk to the playground
can also provide a
fantastic opportunity to develop coordination and balance;
run up hills, walk on the curbs, jump over cracks and catch
bugs. Give your child a bucket to collect items along the way.
Carrying the bucket helps strengthen hand and arm muscles and
bending down to grab things improves eye hand coordination.
ESTEEM MARTIAL ARTS
Classes for ages 3-Adult. Perfect for families!
Try a class free.
Our new impressive studio is located at
#7, 7005 - 18 Street SE
Coloring with Sidewalk Chalk
403.452.1113
The large motions a child needs to make when drawing on the
sidewalk strengthens large motor movements in the arms and
shoulders. Needing to squat develops the muscles in the thighs
and trunk while working on balance.
Register for our Summer Camps!
July 18-22 / August 15-19
Visit: www.calgaryjkd.com for all the details!
Water Play
Throw on a pair of rain boots and go puddle jumping or take
a creek walk for some balance work. Head to the beach and
build a sand castle or try digging with your feet! Have a water
fight with wet sponges, great way to work on throwing.
CLASSES FOR AGES TEEN-ADULT
If you follow your child’s lead, she will do exactly what her brain
needs to develop and grow. Have a great time enjoying the
benefits that outdoor play brings to you and your children.

Neighbour Day 2016
Just Say Hi!
Neighbour Day is fast
approaching, and will take
place on
Welcoming new neighbours or introducing
yourself to those you haven’t met yet
is a great way to establish neighbourly
relationships. People who know each
other are more likely to look out for one
another and help build and maintain a safe
community.
Saturday, June 18!
Held annually on the
third Saturday of June in
commemoration of the 2013
floods, Neighbour Day is an
opportunity for neighbours to
come together to get to know
one another and celebrate your
community.
The idea is to meet one another,
make new friends, have fun,
and maybe work together on a
project that benefits the entire
community. So make Saturday,
June 18, 2016 the day you get to
know your neighbours!
Do you know the first name of at least
five different neighbours? Would you
be able to tell police the addresses of
the houses around you in the event you
witnessed suspicious activity? Could you
ask a neighbour to borrow a cup of sugar
or an egg for a cake you are baking? What
about asking a neighbour to check in on
the perimeter of your home while you’re
away? We sure hope you answered yes
to a few of these questions! But, if not,
take the plunge and just say hi! One of
the easiest ways to increase safety in
your community is to get to know your
neighbours because people tend to look
out for those that they know!
Don’t forget, after introducing yourself,
make the effort to wave, greet and chat
with your neighbours regularly. This
encourages friendly chit-chat and can make
neighbours feel connected.
For more information or engagement
ideas, visit our website at
calgarycommunities.com.
Check with your community
association to see if they have
anything planned, and to find out
how you can get involved!
And don’t forget to share your
experiences on social media using
the hashtag #yycNeighbourDay.
Visit calgary.ca/NeighbourDay
for more information.
Buying Beer for Your Neighbour Day Event?
Support your local community association by buying Village beer! Whether you’re hosting a large
community event or a block party with your neighbours, purchase any kind of Village beer from your
neighbourhood liquor store between May 1 and June 18, 2016 and send a copy of your receipt to your
community association. Village Brewery will then donate 20% of all neighbourhood beer purchases
back to your community association for future community-building
initiatives.
Just like Neighbour Day, Village Brewery was built with the purpose of
gathering people around community. The more people that get out and
meet their neighbours, the happier we are as a city.
Pg. 20 June 2016 Receipts for purchases made
between May 1 and June 18, 2016
will be accepted.

Check out these important updates
from The City of Calgary
An early spring will hopefully translate into a wonderful summer
for Calgarians. Despite the economic challenges we are
currently facing, Ward 12 remains a very busy place. Earlier in
the spring we saw the opening of a new distribution centre for
Home Depot in Shepard Industrial Park as well as a Marshalls in
South Trail Crossing. Two very exciting additions to southeast
Calgary!
Construction for the New Brighton Regional Park and the
Quarry Park recreation centre has concluded and these facilities
will be opening soon. A few months ago ground was also
broken for the Seton recreation facility. Southeast Calgary has
grown rapidly and the addition of these new amenities will help
make this area an even better place to live, work and play!
Coffee with Your Councillor
I want to hear from you. While I have the pleasure of
communicating with many of you through social media, there is
no replacement for face-to-face interaction.
Join me for a cup of coffee to discuss the municipal issues that
matter most to you. I’ll be at the New Brighton Club (2 New
Brighton Drive SE) on Tuesday, June 21 from 7:30-8:30 pm.
I hope to see many of you there!
Deerfoot Trail Open House
Deerfoot Trail is one of the most important pieces of
infrastructure in south Calgary. While the Government of
Alberta is currently responsible for Deerfoot, The City has an
important role to play. It is my great pleasure to invite you to
an open house to talk about the past, present and future of
Deerfoot Trail. The open house will take place at First Alliance
Church (12345 40th Street SE) on Thursday, June 23 from
7:00-9:00 pm.
In attendance will be representatives from The City, from
Alberta Transportation as well as Councillors and Members
of the Legislative Assembly that represent south Calgary.
It promises to be an interesting evening with plenty of
opportunities to address your concerns about Deerfoot Trail.

Spring has sprung!
For most of us, the return of warm
weather means an end to hibernation and
the beginning of outdoor adventures. But
for pet owners however, it can also mean
bringing something a little less desirable…
PARASITES!
The parasites we see in Calgary and
surrounding areas can be categorized in
two general groups:
ECTOparasites – a.k.a. those creepycrawlies that live on the skin of your pet.
These are mostly blood-sucking insects
such as ticks, fleas and lice and can be
found anywhere outdoors. The highest
risk areas include fields with tall grass,
wooded areas, or any places with
pet traffic such as off-leash dog p
boarding facilities. Ticks come w
added ick factor as they also atta
to people, so be sure to do a tick
yourself as well as your pet after
camping this summer!
ENDOparasites, or those that l
inside your pet, are typically foun
the gastrointestinal tract. The m
common culprits include roundw
hookworms, giardia and heartwo
pets can sometimes carry one (o
of these parasites without showi
outward signs of infection, whic
