Town Hall
Thursday September 25th from 7-9PM
The CHOA will be hosting a Town Hall to discuss the spray park amenity. This is an opportunity for discussion and feedback, and we invite all residents to attend. We
will follow a brief agenda (Introductions and Housekeeping, Spray Park recap and update, Question and Answer/Open floor) to help pass on information that needs to be shared, and then open the floor to questions and comments. Please keep in mind that there will be no formal decisions made, or votes taken.
No RSVP is needed for the Town Hall. We hope to see you there!
If you are unable to attend, our goal will be to have the minutes/summary of all feedback (google form and in person commentary) circulated by the following Thursday, October 2nd.
Special Resolution update
August 14, 2025:
Thank you to all of the members that voted and/or attended the Special Resolution meeting yesterday. We received a combined total of 252 votes cast, 63% in favour of the motion (159 votes in favour, and 93 against). Our bylaws indicate that a Special Resolution requires 75% of the votes received to be in favour, and as such the motion failed.
We encourage all residents to reach out to us at any time by email at admin@crestmonthall.com or in person at the office, with questions, concerns or constructive comments/suggestions.
Frequently Asked Questions
We have received many questions over email and Facebook regarding the CHOA and its operations. You can access a document with the most asked questions here. We plan to update this document regularly with answers to more questions that we receive. We encourage all residents to reach out to the office directly at admin@crestmonthall.com with questions and concerns.
ELM vs CHOA Operations
The CHOA has put together a document outlining ELM landscaping on City property and day to day CHOA operations. The document can be found here.
June 23, 2025: Construction Update
We received the attached update from Homes by Avi/Whissell Contracting regarding a traffic closure for the east end of west Valley Road, effective June 25th for approximately 8 weeks.
This is to finish the utility installations in that area for Osprey Hills phase 1, and is the same set up as last year where the temporary access from 109th street will be utilized to access the climbing center and Victory Church.
It appears that there will be higher volumes in the southern traffic circle, but there should be minimal (if any) disruption to Crestmont.
Restoration of East Storm Pond Fountain Amenity
The CHOA Board of Directors had approved, and budgeted for, a replacement fountain in the East storm pond in early 2024. We were, unfortunately, unable to put that amenity in place due to City of Calgary water restrictions. This year your Board is pleased to announce that the new fountain has been purchased ($17,728) and is expected to be installed this spring, pending approval of the licenses required by the City of Calgary.
Our General Manager submitted the request early, and received feedback that Crestmont should be one of the first licenses approved this year. This process falls entirely within the City of Calgary’s scope and as we know more, we will share details. Please note, there will be no additional cost burden to members for this amenity, as the funds that had been allocated to the capital purchase were carried over into the 2025 fiscal year. Although the annual maintenance costs ($8000) associated with the fountain were not included in the operating budget for 2025, reserve funds will be allocated towards them, and will be an operating cost for budgeting going forward.
Game Night Update
Game night will resume in September. Please revisit our website for more updates. Enjoy the summer!
