Springbank Community Association Updates

Recreation -  SR1 Funds
 
Rocky View County is creating a policy to use the $10M in SR1 compensation funds and we think that our community should have a say!  We learned at Council in January that $2.2M of the SR1 funds were used to acquire the land next to the Park For All Seasons.  So far, we have no information on future plans for the land. 

Our thoughts on the funds were captured by Rocky View Weekly  The SCA wants to make sure that this money is used wisely, which includes exploring opportunities for matching grants and the creation of an endowment fund.  This money could turn into $20-30 million if used properly. Unfortunately, the money spent on the land does not appear to have been eligible to be used for matching funds, which is a tremendous lost opportunity in our view.  
 
We also believe the SR1 funds should be used for projects outside those that should be funded by regular tax dollars (for instance, both Langdon and Springbank recreation facilities are included in the Recreation Master Plan). This is an exceptional situation - and opportunity - to create legacy infrastructure and lasting benefits in the greater Springbank Community to balance the lasting environmental and health risks of SR1.  
 
 
Springbank Community Centre
 
RVC administration is working internally to determine servicing needs for the 74 acre parcel that will be home to the new community centre.  In our view, there are two decisions that need to be made & RVC needs to recognize that these decisions are connected:


The 74 acres purchased (next to SFPAS) with SR1 money (next to SFPAS) requires site plan:

  • We have expressed to RVC that they need to consult with the community on the planning of the 74 acres purchased with the SR1 money. 
  • There is an opportunity to improve parking, roads and access at SCHS and SPFAS by recognizing the interconnected nature of the 74 acres with the existing infrastructure at the
    corner of RR33 and Springbank Road.  
  • We need to think creatively about opportunities at this location, including how SPFAS, SCHS and the new community centre can share operations, space and programming. 

The community centre project needs to reset with additional community engagement and more detailed planning:

  • The Project proposed by RVC administration does not quite hit the mark for what we need in Springbank (read proposal)
  • Ultimately, we want our community to have an economically viable new community centre that will be a central hub for all ages and abilities - all year round! If you have ideas that
    should be considered, please email us.
  • RVC needs to acknowledge that there are 2000 children on RR33 for 10 months of the year and these kids need before and after school care and programs.  We know after-school
    care for parents is a pressing issue.  
  • Springbank residents have no indoor spaces to recreate within the community - a walking track and gymnasium have been at the top of every single RVC survey and the extensive
    community. Yet, the RVC consultant did not even run the economics for a gymnasium despite requests to do so from the SCA. 
  • We continue to challenge our area councillors and RVC to either have improved engagement with the community or support the Community Association in our efforts to engage the
    community.

   

Access to Calgary from Springbank ia now via Springbank Road/Old Banff Coach Road or a loop via Lower Springbank Road to 17 Ave SW until the Stoney Trail SW ring road opens.

 

Springbank Barnwood Reclamation project

If you are looking for reclaimed Barnwood for your project(s) you need to look no further than our own back yard. This not for profit fundraiser is solving our farmer's and rancher's problems with derelict structures by "disassembling" them and making the historical wood/materials available at a low cost to all.  Please Call Ian at 403-630-3650 for details. We also have Barnwood Picnic Tables available at $195 each.
