My name is Marvin DeJong and I am the Principal
at DeJong Design Associates, a residential design
firm located here in Calgary since 1996.
I’d like to tell you about our newest venture,
Prairie Drawing Room (PDR). My goal is to make
good design accessible for everyone. Through
PDR, we are now able to offer clients the chance
to combine some of the best aspects of custom
design with the convenience and affordability of
unique stock plans.
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.

Interim President’s
Message
Lloyd, Tim and Doug are beaming! The new Skate Shack
is a going concern.
The Kaboda and water tank are a huge help in maintaining a smooth ice surface and the brush feature on the
tractor helps to clear the snow. Lloyd and Tim have also
enjoyed the assistance of the odd shinny hockey player
who has offered to help. Thanks guys.
The inaugural season of Learn to Skate / Learn to Play is
up and running. I enjoyed a nice chat with grandparents
who had flown in from Manitoba for their granddaughter’s Xmas dance recital. They got quite a kick out of our
volunteer program and community Skate Shack. Community Associations/Leagues are not standard resources in all communities or provinces. We are very lucky in
Calgary and across AB.
Richmond School hosted a Family Skate on Dec13th.
Thank you so much for organizing and opening this
family event to the community at large. We enjoy a special and valued relationship with our School partners.
Lola has been busy booking family skates through the
holidays. We are not able to rent the Skate Shack until
our Occupancy Certificate has been issued, so we are
substituting the main Hall. Just a little more work before
the building is finished and we have all our signoffs.
A few members have asked if they can have the key
code to the Shack. Unfortunately we are unable to open
the building to broad member access given the security
concerns around the gas fireplace and access to the utility room. However, we are recruiting volunteers to act as
regular Shack Stewards. More on Shack Stewards later in
this newsletter.
Coming Events
The Board hatched 2 great ideas at our December potluck – good food and wine may have helped get the
ideas flowing.
1.Ladies Learn to Skate – Tuesday evenings 7:008:00pm Helmets are encouraged and bring a tooney
for the hot chocolate.
6
2.RKHCA Winterfest – January 25th 1:00-4:00pm @ Community Hall & Skate Shack
The Winterfest will be a combined Family Skate, Chili
Cook-off and Community Engagement Event.
KidSport Skate Shack has been reserved for families
wanting to borrow skates and helmets for the Family
Skate.
We’ve reserved a team of horses and sleigh for the kids.
Fingers crossed this becomes a reality. We have no idea
what kind of permits might be required for a horse
drawn sleigh but we are going for it. Sleigh rides will be
free for members. And how will we know you are members? You’ll be wearing your RKHCA Skate Tag. If you are
a current member and don’t have your skate tag yet, we
will be handing them out at the event.
Councillor, Evan Woolley; MLA, Christine Cusanelli;
MP, Joan Crockatt; and a number of other community
members are confirmed for the RKHCA Chili Cook-off.
If you’ve got a family recipe you’d like to put to the test,
shoot us an email at [email protected].
Mingle with elected representatives, members of the
RKHCA Board & Development Committee while warming up in the Hall. We’d like to hear your ideas for small/
quick improvements that would contribute to improved
community life and on issues that are of more significant concern. The RKHCA Development Committee
will have information available on the proposed Marda
Loop ARP, Currie Barracks expansion and ongoing redevelopment activity in the community.
Volunteers Needed
The RKHCA is truly blessed with a huge roster of volunteers. The expression ‘many hands, make for light work’
couldn’t be more true and the more the merrier. We are
currently recruiting in the following areas:
Newsletter Editor – 1-2 hours/month
Community Cleanup (SUMBY) Coordinator – 2 hours
organization/advertising & 5 hours on event day
Photographer – 1 hour/month
Social Committee Member – varies, approximately 6
hours/event
Webmaster – 1 hour/month
PayPal/Event Programmer – Not really sure on the
time commitment because I don’t know enough about
Interim President’s
Message cont’d
programming. Basically we need help setting up PayPal
links and capturing the data for individual events such
as TimBits Soccer, Learn to Skate, membership, etc.
Development Committee – bi-weekly 2 hour meeting
We hope you will consider giving back to your community and help to build community in Richmond Knob
Hill.

Learn to Skate
Learn to Play
Our tri-community Learn to Skate / Learn to Play program got off to a fine start on December 8th. Families
drove, pulled sleighs and walked to the ice rinks at the
RKHCA Skate Shack.
Lloyd and a young man from the neighbourhood polished the ice after a rough game of adult shinny the
night before. Doug & Denise turned on the fireplace
and got the hot chocolate steaming. Parents tied up
skates and strapped on helmets. Adrian, Gord, Brent,
Kevin and Martin pulled out the bags of pucks, sticks,
balls, hoola hoops and angry birds. We were ready
to go.
The most rewarding sight was that of children who
had been carried or lead out to the rink, skate back
to the Shack under their own steam. Of course with
a huge smile!
Others found their skates a little awkward and the
weather cold but nothing so serious that hot chocolate and candy cane couldn’t fix. We look forward to
many more Sunday mornings like the last.
Me: Things seem
to be getting
better lately.
Life: LOL – give
me a second!

development
committee
The Development Committee continues to review development projects in and around Richmond/Knob Hill
and advocate on behalf of our community.
Marda Loop ARP
It is expected that the draft Area Redevelopment Plan
(ARP) for the Marda Loop business district will be going
to City Council for approval early in the new year. The
Development Committee generally supports the ARP,
but is concerned about its proposal to increase the maximum building heights along the north side of 33 Avenue SW to 16m. The Development Committee feels that
16m directly across the lane from single family homes is
excessive, as those homes would experience significant
overshadowing issues. A recent shadow study relating
to a proposed 16m development on the vacant gas station site at 2040 33 Avenue SW indicated that the southfacing main floor windows of homes across the lane
from such a building would potentially receive no sunlight at all for approximately 2.5 months each year, from
mid-November to late January. In comparison, the recently approved ARP for 50 Avenue SW provides primarily for maximum building heights of only 10m or 12m
across the lane from single family homes, and in the one
case where the maximum building height is 16m, there
is a requirement that the rear of the building be stepped
down to a maximum height of only 10m. The Development Committee feels that the Marda Loop ARP should
be revised to provide for either a height limit in the 12 m
to 14m range or a step down requirement similar to the
one in the 50 Avenue SW ARP, but to date our requests
have been ignored, including by our new Ward 8 Councilor, Evan Woolley. If Richmond/Knob Hill residents, including those who back onto the Marda Loop business
district, agree that the ARP should be revised to prevent
this excessive overshadowing, then we encourage you
to make your views known to Councilor Woolley and the
other members of City Council.
Currie Barracks
Development Committee representatives are participating in an Advisory Group for proposed changes to
the redevelopment plans for Currie Barracks, the former
military base on the west side of Crowchild Trail. Canada
Lands is looking to revise the plans for this new com10
munity to more than double the total number of households from the previously approved 3,200 to approximately 6,900, and is proposing to use both Flanders
Avenue and 33 Avenue SW as the main access points
for the 20,000 or so people that would eventually live
there. To minimize the adverse impact of such a large
number of additional residents on our neighbouring
community, the Development Committee is requesting
that Currie Barracks be developed both as a “complete
community”, so that most of their residents’ day-today needs can be met within their community, and as
a “transit” community, so that taking transit will be the
easiest way for their residents to commute to and from
the core.
Development-Related Applications
Besides the regular review of development-related applications (see table below), your Development Committee participated in the City’s continuing consultation process to improve the planning process. A new
approach called “Explore” proposed to be a more collaborative, solutions-based process and recent pilot projects are proving to have positive outcomes. It is up to
applicants to initiate the process.

Raisin & Rosemary
Thins
These crackers taste great with your favourite cheese, antipasto, cream cheese, etc. or just on their own!
CULINARY FILE: appetizers
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups buttermilk
¼ cup liquid honey
¼ cup brown sugar
¾ cup raisins
½ cup chopped pecans
½ cup roasted pumpkin seeds
¼ cup sesame seeds
¼ ground flax seed
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray four mini loaf pans with
non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, stir the flour, salt, and baking soda together.
Then add the buttermilk, honey and brown sugar and stir until
mixed. Add the raisins, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds,
flax seed and rosemary. Stir only until just blended.
Divide the batter evenly into the greased pans. Bake for approximately 30 minutes until lightly browned and springy to the
touch. Remove from loaf pans and cool completely on wire racks.
Slice the loaves as thinly as possible and then place the slices in
a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Reduce oven heat
to 300 degrees F and bake slices for about 10 minutes on each
side until crisp and golden.
Tips & Variations:
•Substitute dried cranberries for raisins
•Substitute chopped walnuts for pecans
•Buttermilk substitute: combine 2 tablespoons of white vinegar or lemon juice with just under 2 cups of whole milk. Let
stand for 5 minute before using
Freeze a couple of loaves and finish the final baking step another time

‘Tis the season –
tobogganing is back!
With the first few snow storms under the city’s belt, Calgarians are heading to the hills for one of winter’s greatest pastimes – tobogganing.
Did you know that The City of Calgary has designated
several parks and green spaces as sites appropriate for
tobogganing? These hills have better landing areas that
make the activity safer. They are also inspected on a
monthly basis for obstacles.
City Skatepark Open House
Help get the wheels turning on skatepark developments!
The City of Calgary wants your help. We are holding
open houses for a 10-year skateboard plan to build
up to 50 skateparks in the city. Come join us at one of
the three quadrant open houses to provide your input
and learn more about:
•the overall skateboarding strategy and where we are
in the process
•the consultants that are designing the skateparks
•communities that have been identified to receive a
skatepark and why
•how this could impact you or your family
•modern skatepark design, construction, and the
positive impact they have on communities
•how your community or region can get involved for
selection of future parks
We are still in the proposal stage and no final site
selection has been decided. Help carve out how we
move forward.
Open House Options (all times are 5 PM to 8 PM):
Tuesday, Cardel Theatre
January 28: 180 Quarry Park Blvd SE
Wednesday, Edgemont Community
January 29: Association – 33 Edgevalley Circle NW
Thursday, Southland Leisure Centre
January 30: 2000 Southland Dr. SW
For more information about this or other recreation
projects, please visit: calgary.ca/recreationprojects.

There are several things you can do to keep your family
safe while tobogganing.
•Always wear a helmet to protect your head from injury
•Assess the hill before tobogganing, as conditions can
change from day to day.
•Jumps should not be created. The City will remove
them for safety reasons.
•Avoid hills that are not designated for tobogganing.
Undesignated hills can be dangerous, and you can be
fined $100 under a City bylaw if you slide down them.
For a complete list of hills designated for tobogganing
and sledding, visit www.Calgary.ca/parks.

Snow Shovelling Safety
How to shovel:
• Choose the correct size of shovel for you. A smaller shovel will
require you to lift less snow at a time and reduce the strain on
your body.
• Protect your back by lifting properly: keep the shovel close
to the body, stay balanced by standing with feet about hipwidth apart, bend your knees, squatting with a straight back.
As you lift the snow use your legs to provide the lift, tighten
your stomach muscles to support your back, keep your back
straight. Do not bend your back.
• When possible, push snow, don’t lift it. Always orient your
body in the same direction you are pushing the snow. If you
need to move the snow to one side, reposition your entire
body to continue facing the direction you are pushing.
• Do not throw snow over your shoulder or to the side. Most
back injuries occur when you are in a twisted position. The
injury can be made worse when you are bearing the weight
of heavy snow as you twist.
• Don’t extend your arms when maneuvering a full shovel of
heavy snow as this puts excess strain on your back muscles
and too much weight on your spine. Attempt to keep the
weight of the shovel close to your body.
• Pace yourself and take a break, especially if there’s been a
heavy snowfall; don’t try to clear it away all at once.
Before you start:
• Dress properly for the weather before heading outdoors. Unprotected exposure to low temperatures and wind chill can
result in hypothermia or frostbite.
• Dress in layers starting with a warm insulating inner layer;
ending with wind and water proof outer layers. If you become
too warm as you shovel, you can always remove outer layers
as required.
• Wear proper footwear with a solid tread and adequate ankle
support. Don’t forget to wear a toque or hat to prevent heat
loss from your head.
• Stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of water before and
after you shovel. Avoid caffeinated beverages and alcoholic
beverages as well as smoking. These all act as stimulants that
can put a strain on your heart by constricting blood vessels
and increasing heart rate. Caffeine can also promote dehydration – another important reason to avoid it. Alcoholic
beverages do not act as a stimulant, but they also promote
dehydration, impair your judgment, and make you more susceptible to the effects of the cold weather.
Reduce the chance of injury by warming up your muscles with
light exercise and stretching before you shovel. Warm muscles
use energy more efficiently.
