Calgary Northwest Recreation Centre Society – NW Residents Have Spoken!

The City of Calgary held an Open House on Dec.9’08 where they shared the results of the recreation needs and preferences study for NW Calgary.

We hope all of you were able to attend to review the results and provide your opinion back to The City.  The study included the top facility features NW residents want to see:

       1.  Aquatics (both flat water training/teaching poll and leisure/play water)

       2.  Indoor Ice Opportunities

       3.  Dry Sports (Gymnasium)

       4.  Multi-purpose spaces

The study also details desired traits for a future location, how residents would like to see the building operated and much more. You can link to the full report at www.cnrcs.ca .

The CNRCS committees have kicked-off during December 2008.  We are still looking for volunteers. If you are interested in participating in one of the following committees, please email cnrcs.info@gmail.com:

• Communications   
• Community Engagement:
• Design
• Fundraising
• Governance & Organization
• Partnerships & Stakeholders

Currently, CNRCS needs specific skills for the team:

• Legal counsel (lawyer) with non profit and/or Board/organizational governance experience
• Fundraising expertise.

Our current priorities are to take the results of The City’s needs assessment and decide how CNRCS will achieve those goals in the NW Recreation Center.  Fundraising activities will commence so please watch for events and please participate however you can. 

All organizations associated with sports, arts, and culture who would like to discuss partnerships with CNRCS, please contact us at cnrcs.info@gmail.com.

Speaking of cultural events, Lunar New Year is early this year on Jan.26’09.  In the near future, we could host Lunar New Year celebrations at the new recreation center!

Stay healthy!  Be happy.

Your Hawkwood representative(s) are:  Trevor Hughes, Sean Furlong
