BRZ Report July

2010 July 19th

BRZ Expansion

After the open house in June held at Dade Art and Design Lab, the city will be working on the potential new expansion areas. It is a municipal election year, so the process may be held up as a result, but the BRZ is hoping that the city will have all the documentation required to go forward with an expansion by the New Year. I'll keep Inglewood posted on our progress.

Membership

2010 June 17th

The new-and-improved membership cards are being printed and will be in the mail soon. It's been a long process mostly due to conflicting schedules but we are well on our way to a simpler, more efficient system. The annual price of memberships will be increasing to $20/family, $10/single, $5/senior. Details of the merchant discount program will be forthcoming and will more than make up for the increase in price -- I promise!

As always, memberships can be purchased online at www.icacalgary.com or you can drop into the hall and purchase one from the hall manager, Angela Lovegrove.

I am writing to let you know of the fantastic customer service I recieved from one of your advertisers, A-1 Carline Muffler. I had taken my car in for a pre vacation oil change to another facility. They told me I had an oil leak and needed a new oil pan bolt as the one in my vehicle was likely to cause a leak

Starbucks leaves bad taste in my mouth

2009 October 1st

Up front let me say I have nothing against Starbucks as a business, in fact I admire them, they built from the ground up and have become big business. But they don't belong in Inglewood.

The City of Calgary has commissioned AECOM Canada (an engineering and planning consulting company) to carry out a transportation planning study for both 9 Avenue SE in Inglewood and 17 Avenue SE in Forest Lawn. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of locating a bus rapid transit route on these two streets. It will also address the needs for cyclists/pedestrians, truck traffic as well as ...

No Stars for Starbucks

2009 September 3rd

I watched the renovation of the new Starbucks corner with mixed emotions. On the one hand, the corner was getting a facelift and a patio. On the other hand, Inglewood can now count itself among the 16,000 locations in the world with a Starbucks; there's a thrill. This Starbucks is about as generic as you can get. I am really disappointed in the ICA for approving a chain of this magnitude in our hood. I can only hope it will not be frequented by Calgarians because it is too ubiquitous and an independent will soon take over.

Becoming an Inglewood Mom

2009 August 25th

Thank you to all that shared a common interest in the article I wrote in July. It is an interesting journey being a mom and it is one that is made even more engaging by getting to write about it. As a result of your interest, I have been asked to contribute a few more articles. My last article was about how ideal it is to be an Inglewood mom, this article will be about what it took to get me to this point (don't worry - I'll keep it suitable for readers of all ages!)
