The Million Question Challenge! What is a puppy? How many dogs are there in the world? What would happen if dogs grew wings and could fly? Calgary Public Library has a new summer learning initiative for school-aged kids called The Million Question Challenge! Kids will ask a million questions this summer, sparking curiosity and wonder. These questions can be about anything and everything – we hope that the questions will be personal and meaningful to each child, and will spur them on to finding some answers, too. The kid who asks the most number of questions this summer will win a $250 Toys R Us gift card and get to be the Kid Executive Officer (KEO)of the Library for a day! We have a ton of fun reading activities this summer, too! Kids from 0-12 can join the TD Summer Reading Club again this year, and read to win prizes. Teens can participate in this summer’s Youth Read. Get ready to read & win all summer long! Visit calgarylibrary.ca for details. Can you help? There is a group of seniors who enjoy knitting mitts, scarves, toques, and afghans. They donate them to nursing homes and various facilities in need of such items. If you have leftover wool that you no longer need and would like to donate it, kindly drop it off at the Community Centre. For more information, please call the Community office at 403-253-4232. Adults can find great summer reads in both the We Recommend collections and the Your Year of Reading guides, available at your community library. Smile… You could be on camera! Security cameras are installed at the Community Centre. They are set up to monitor activity around the building, rink area and dumpster. This will enable us to identify those who choose to vandalize or paint graffiti on our building or deposit personal garbage in the Community Centre dumpster and allow us to take action.

In fact they are busy as ever! With the weather getting warmer the kids activities are held outside more often. The best camp of the year was held at Camp Valaqua on the April 16-18 weekend. This camp is very special as most of the kids from beavers, cubs and scouts attend the same camp together. This year’s theme was Star Wars! This is a special time for all of them, beavers see the older scouts sleeping outdoors and making fires. Joint activities and games are held where the older kids have to learn to work with the younger ones. It’s an excellent bonding and learning time for all of them.

Box 2100 Stn.

Higher river flows typically occur in Calgary from the middle of May to middle July. However flooding can strike any Calgary community in any season, often with little or no warning. Interestingly this has less to do with spring run-off from the mountains, and more to do with precipitation. The City has plans in place that guide our response to floods of various sizes. Every event is different and actions leading up to and during a flood depend on the specifics of each event. In general, as a City, we take these actions to mitigate the impact of a flood: • Manage the flow of water out of the Glenmore reservoir • Close the gates on storm water outfalls to prevent river water from entering the storm system • Deploy temporary lift stations to supplement pumping • Deploy temporary berms, flood tubes or sandbags to critical locations. Last month, the City of Calgary held two open houses to provide information to residents about on-going 2013 flood recovery efforts. This information is available online if you missed the session at Calgary.ca/flooding, along with resources on preparing yourself and your community in the event of a flood. Community building in your neighbourhood! June is a busy month for Ward 11 communities. Be sure to check your Community Association for their family-friendly event listings – festivals, bike parades & Neighbour Day events – just to name a few! Community clean-ups are also underway from now until September. They are a great way to meet your neighbours, and take a burden off of your spring clean-out. See the full schedule at Calgary.ca/cleanup. As mentioned last month, my team and I will host a community information session on Little Free Libraries on Thursday, June 9th at 6:00 pm at the Voltage Creative Garage, 2101 – 34th Avenue SW. Light refreshments will be provided. We hope to see you there! Remember to sign up for Ward 11 updates to receive information on upcoming events, City programs, and public engagement opportunities relevant to you at www.ward11calgary.ca. Dear Constituents: The budget was announced on April 14th, 2016 and I would like to highlight important aspects of the budget that are avenues towards Alberta’s success. Also, I would like to shed light on my participation in the house during the session. Budget 2016 Highlights: Budget 2016 contains cost-savings measures, including freezing salaries for political staff and government managers as well as reducing the number of government agencies, boards and commissions to control the growth of operating spending. At the same time Budget 2016 also introduces the new Alberta Jobs Plan to help encourage job creation, business capital investment, and economic diversification. This plan has four pillars: • Supporting families in times of hardship with new supports and better access to training/ education; • Continuing to invest in Alberta’s infrastructure through the government’s Capital Plan; • Diversifying our energy industry and markets by putting a price on carbon, in addition to working to getting the best value for our natural resources • Supporting Alberta businesses with two new tax credits to encourage access to capital and a tax cut by 1% for small businesses as of Jan 1, 2017. My Participation in the House: I was successful to have Motion 503 passed in the house which is about making prescription drugs more affordable for lowincome seniors.
