Effective October 28, 2015 Westmount Place will be switching to single stream recycling. This will put us onside with the City’s multifamily recycling bylaw due to take effect in February.
Single stream recycling means all our recyclable materials will go into a single bin which should minimize the need for residents to sort. Waste Management will pick up the bin three times a week and sorting will be done off site. For a list of recyclable materials please see the file SINGLE-STREAM-RECYCLING Poster Revised .
Please ensure cardboard boxes are flattened before putting them into the bin. Boxes take up a lot of space and result in increased costs for extra pickups. Please ensure plastic bags are all fit into one bag before putting them into the bin. Single bags jam the sorting equipment.
Please continue to put regular garbage down the garbage chutes. Regular garbage is as defined by the City in terms of type and quantity for residential pickup. Disposal of other items is the responsibility of the resident. Back charges and/or fines will be levied for improper use of our garbage facilities.
Summary of recyclable materials:
- plastic bottles and containers
- plastic bags nested inside each other
- metal cans
- paper cardboard dairy and juice containers
- paper
- flattened cardboard and paperboard
- glass bottles and jars
Effective immediately Sandra Williams of Montgomery Ross and Associates will be our Building Manager replacing Christine Perrin. Sandra can be reached at 403-234-7556 ext 246 or via email at sandra.williams@montgomeryross.ca

Re: Cycle Track Network Pilot Project
The Cycle Track Network Pilot Project opened on June 18, 2015 and since that time we have been monitoring and making adjustments to the network where possible. Since opening, a number of stakeholders have raised concerns about the removal of parking on the west end of 8 Avenue, between 8 Street S.W. and 11 Street S.W. The City has reviewed these blocks and found that through modifying the existing design, we can introduce parking stalls on these blocks.
In the revised design, approximately 24 new parking stalls will be added to 8 Avenue between 8 Street S.W. and 11 Street S.W. as follows:
v Eight stalls on the north side between 11 Street S.W. and 10 Street S.W
v Seven stalls on the north side between 10 Street S.W. and 9 Street S.W.
v Nine stalls on the south side between 9 Street S.W. and 8 Street S.W.
We will also be creating a handicap loading zone on the north side between 10 Street S.W. and 9 Street S.W. to allow easier access for clients accessing services on this block.
Additionally, we will be adding parking on the west side of 10 Street S.W. between 8 Avenue S.W. and 9 Avenue S.W. by modifying signage to allow parking along the entire block.
Timeline
Work is planned to begin Sunday, August 30 and is scheduled to be completed by Friday, September 4, weather permitting. Most activities will be completed overnight to minimize impact to traffic and will include some rolling detours. as work is completed on a block by block basis.
During construction the cycle track barriers will be removed to allow for new road markings and new concrete curbs to be installed. People cycling should ride with caution during construction since only temporary signs and road markings may be present. The barriers will be reinstalled once the new curbs and markings are in place.

Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation while we help build a better Calgary.

Westmount Place By-Laws for main bylaws and
Bylaw #46 6 Oct 11 for the amended version of bylaw 46.
I know as a home owner that from time to time it may be necessary to call a plumber to repair things that break down, like the toilet, taps, etc. I also know that there are those out there that think these repair issues are simple, so why call a plumber when they are perfectly capable of doing the work themselves. Well in as much as I’d like to have full faith in those abilities, there is one big glaring difference. A homeowner is only responsible for their own home. We on the other hand are responsible for an entire building. Our building systems are all inner connected and what you might think of as a perfectly simple task, may require the water to be isolated. If work is attempted without the correct protocols, disaster can and does ensue.
Therefore, I can not stress enough the importance of using a professional, one that has highrise experience. We are happy to recommend several contractors that do the most difficult type of work, to more mundane type of plumbing. Our security people have a list of all our approved contractors.
Electricians
Plumbers
General Contractors
If you have a preferred contractor that would like to be approved to work within Westmount Place, please ask them to supply the administration office:
1. Current Business License
2. Copy of current 2 million dollar liability insurance.
3. WCB Coverage for all sub-trades or employee’s.
We will be happy to discuss our Renovation Policies and work together to make sure inconvenience is kept to a minimum for all the residents within Westmount Place.
I appreciate the cooperation of our residents and if we all work together, the end result will be lower deductables and insurance premiums.
Thank you.
Twylla Walker – Property Manager
