We share a responsibility to protect ourselves, our neighbours, and local wildlife. Waste bins, particularly the green and black bins, should be stored in a secure area. Please do your part to ensure your bins are not outside. City of Calgary bylaws state that bins should be set out no earlier than 7 pm the night before pickup and must be put away by 7 pm on the day of pickup. We kindly ask and encourage everyone to please try not to put green and black bins out before the morning of pickup if at all possible when bears are the most active (August and September). These bins are a potential safety risk to all when they are out as they encourage local wildlife to scour them for food. Therefore, the least amount of time the bins are out, the better it is for wildlife.

Don’t like the smell from bins? Consider one of the many companies in Calgary that offer bin cleaning services. Thank you!

The 2022 Music In The Park event was a huge success. Our residents turned out to enjoy the music, beautiful weather, and visit in person. A huge THANK YOU to all of the amazing volunteers and to our event sponsors:

YYC Food Trucks sends their apologies because only two of their scheduled trucks attended.

Please be advised that there have been several sightings of bears in the area recently. Warning signs have been posted near the traffic circle at the entrance to Discovery Ridge.

Our special community has us living in partnership with local wildlife. In order to protect our neighbourhood, our residents, and the wildlife, please ensure you are doing your part. If possible, put your blue and green bins out for pickup on Wednesday morning instead of Tuesday evening to help reduce bear attractants until the bears go into hibernation.

Calling all parents of tweens and teens in Ward 6! Wests Springs Cougar Ridge Community Association is hosting an in-person screening of Screenagers Next Chapter: Uncovering Skills for Stress Resilience on May 26, 2022 at West Springs Church, 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm.

This film is in follow-up to the award-winning documentary Screenagers: Growing Up in the Digital Age, a film that probed into the vulnerable corners of family life and depicted the messy struggles over social media, video games and academics. We believe this film, and the discussion afterwards, will help our youth and their parents build crucial skills for navigating stress, anxiety, and depression.

Hope you can make it!

Register at https://wscr.ca/. Registration open to all Ward 6 residents!
