Happy December homeowners! As we look towards to a new start in 2025, we hope everyone has a chance to celebrate and share good cheer with family and friends during the holiday season. The NDHA Board of Directors would like to wish you and those closest to you a safe and happy holiday season, with sincere “Best Wishes for 2025” from all of us!
Our annual holiday light display has been up for a while now at our community entrance and in the recreation park across from Cornerstone Square. Thanks again to True North Christmas Lights, who handle maintenance and installation for these lights. The seven planters at the roundabout are also decked out in an evergreen holiday display, dressing up our entryway that much more. Thank you to Pixie Gardens’ talented staff for working with our Board on these planters. We hear many comments about how residents look forward to seeing these festive displays every year and that makes this big job very worthwhile. We hope you agree that these preparations help create a most festive atmosphere in Discovery Ridge!
These holiday touches are the capstone for NDHA’s work throughout the year to provide the best landscaped community spaces in Calgary and this is part of what sets Discovery Ridge apart from other neighbourhoods. Thank you to everyone who has remitted their fees for 2024 – these funds enable landscaping work, waterfall maintenance and operations (when possible!), seasonal displays, and snow removal throughout the community. For anyone new to Discovery Ridge, note that this annual fee is a legal requirement, due on June 29th. If you are unsure of your payment status, please enquire via our website.
As we get into the snowy season, NDHA would like to remind everyone to be vigilant while walking through the neighbourhood. The ULS snow clearing team will be out in full force after each snow event but Mother Nature is unpredictable. Ice can form unexpectedly and slippery sections can get covered by blown snow. Use caution on the pathways, the hills in particular, and contact us if you see an area that needs attention.
As you look forward to 2025 possibly setting new goals and resolutions, the NDHA Board is always seeking new members and volunteers. Volunteering can give you an opportunity to collaborate with the NDHA’s dedicated Board, exercise useful skills, learn about our operations, and influence the decisions that NDHA takes, all towards make Discovery Ridge the best landscaped community in Calgary. If you think this sounds interesting, please reach out to us through the web site (www.ndha.ca) or by emailing NDHAmembership@ndha.ca.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to All from your NDHA Board: Jim Fox (President), Shaune Pasay (Past President), D. Cruickshank (Treasurer), Caroll-Ann Bainbridge, Michelle Conway, Kevin King (Directors).
