8 SUBURBAN JOURNALS www.suburbanjournals.caThe SkyView Ranch Cloud

In Our CityMunicipal News by Anne Burke

Council NewsThere was a notice of motion to randomly generate a new seating plan annually for Members of Council. Some factors are accessibility, efficiency, and comfort. The change took effect in 2018.

Two others did not pass: to set term limits under the Local Elections Act of Alberta for the Mayor and Councillors and recall was recommended.

The current term is 4 years (so a limit of 12 years). Recall is a procedure by which voters can remove an elected official from office (through a direct vote, when enough voters sign a petition.)

Council did approve motions arising. Councillors, who intend to run for provincial and federal office, should resign from city council and forfeit any transition allowance. Councillor resigning to seek another public post should return surplus funds from the last municipal campaign to the City to defray the cost of a by-election.

Parking More or LessThe Multi-Family Residential Parking Reduction Policy, which was approved by Council in May 2015, has made possible significant parking relaxations for new developments.

City staff, in pre-application meetings, have received interest in more 0-parking developments. The policy relies on adjacent public parking options to minimize community impacts.

Residents and visitors to three 0-parking buildings were surveyed to determine the various transportation modes they used to access the buildings.

An update to the Council Committee on Transportation and Transit reports that residents of 0-parking buildings are choosing more active modes, such as walking and cycling, for most of their trips

Development in the East Village was opened to residents, in spring 2017. The on-street parking demand is expected to increase in the future as the community is not yet fully built out. The City will continue to monitor the on-street demand for parking and impacts.


In Our CityBrochures and Quality CostsThe City relies on 14 non-profit organizations to support arts and culture, business development, libraries, parks, recreation, and sports.

The quality of the brochures and year-end statements from different City departments, as well as some of these City’s civic partners, is a concern.

During this economic time, expensive brochures are still being produced and mailed. Most corporations are communicating year-end reports via email.

A City Councillor said he was wondering if there have been any steps or communications taken with civic partners about whether this is a wise use of funds at this particular time?

The City Manager reported that this issue has been communicated “on several occasions.”

The Cost of HousingThere are many types of building forms for rental of residential property, which is a business activity.

There are no city bylaws that address short term rental of residential property, although there are some for lodging (or boarding) houses, as well as bed and breakfast operations.

Short term rentals are not subject to the 4% provincial tourism levy or the destination marketing fee, at this time, but there are popular online markets for private short term rentals by travellers. City Council voted to explore business licenses, land use, fire and safety codes for short term rental in order to ensure that all of these are subject to safety and oversight by the City.

The report to the Combined Meeting of Council was postponed from Dec. 2017. A scoping report, with recommendations and costs, to a Council Committee on Community and Protective Services is due by the end of 2018.

Feel Better Through FitnessFitness helps you feel better

and have more energy for work and leisure time. You'll feel more able to do things like playing with your kids, gardening, dancing, or biking. Children and teenagers who are fit may have more energy and better focus at school.

When you stay active and fit, you burn more calories, even when you're at rest. Being fit lets you do more physical activity. And it lets you exercise harder without as much work. It can also help you manage your weight.

Improving your fitness is good for your heart, lungs, bones, muscles, and joints. And it lowers your risk for falls, heart attack, diabetes, high blood pressure, and some cancers. If you already have one or more of these

problems, getting more fit may help you control other health problems and make you feel better.

Being more fit also can help you to sleep better, handle stress better, and keep your mind sharp.

How much physical activity do you need for health-related fitness?Experts say your goal should be at least 2½ hours of moderate to vigorous activity each week. It's fine to be active in blocks of 10 minutes or more throughout your day and week. For example, you could:• Do some sort of moderate aerobic activity, like brisk

walking.• Or do more vigorous activities, like running. This

activity makes you breathe harder and have a much faster heartbeat than when you are resting.

Here's an easy way to tell if your exercise is moderate: You're at a moderate level of activity if you can talk but not sing during the activity. If you can't talk while you're doing the activity, you're working too hard

Children need more activity. Encourage your child (ages 5 to 17) to do moderate to vigorous activity at least 1 hour every day.

Community Preparedness

As Calgarians we know that emergencies can affect our communities at any point. Many emergencies

may not be preventable but we can minimize the risk by being prepared. Here is a list of ways you and your neighbours can be prepared.

Know your neighboursIf an emergency does arise, if you know your neighbours you can readily identify neighbours who may have special needs, mobility or those who need additional assistance in an event of emergency.

Know the potential risks and hazards in your community The more residents are aware of areas in their community that are potential risks, the better prepared a community can be. Be proactive!

Know the evacuation routesKnowing how to get of your neighbourhood can reduce traffic congestion and allow for emergency personal easy access.

Book Review Lagom (Not too little, not too much) The Swedish Art of Living a Balanced, Happy Life.

by Niki Brantmark

Perhaps it’s because my heritage is Swedish

that I got excited to read Lagom. Perhaps it’s because I seem to be craving the cozy this year. Like really, really craving it. Whatever the reason, I devoured this book!

I read about, and then wrote a book review about ‘Hygge’ last year, which is Danish for a happy, cozy life. ‘Lagom’ is essentially the Swedish version of Hygge from what I can gather with a few other additions. I love the whole idea of slowing down, of making moments special, of having experiences of value, and creating a sense of calm in your home.

As humans, we constantly seek out the desire to be happy. Just today, I overheard some people talking about happiness and the little things they were chatting about that brought them joy. I think we all, in some way, are craving the happy. Life bumps along and occasionally we need a reminder about how we can slow down and stop the busy. It is so good and healthy to unplug from life and from our devices to take a moment to enjoy a meal with friends, or wear clothes that aren’t constrictive. Even doing simple things like the practice of lighting a candle, or reading to a child.

This book is full of life moments that we need to incorporate more often like the benefits of riding a bike, and how to soothe the soul like Hygge suggests, but this book also talks of how to be more energy efficient, and make use of things, rather than buying new, living with less, and even how to be a great guest. It’s just a really wonderful little book that you could take with you to read anywhere. And I’ll tell you this, if you get to almost the middle, there’s a cinnamon bun recipe, which I have not tried quite yet, but it made it to my list of things to do! Yum!

Scalds and BurnsEach year Emergency Medical Services (EMS)

continues to respond to emergencies involving young children who have sustained severe burns or scalds. These incidents often occur inside the child’s own home. Common causes include a child accidentally tipping hot liquids onto themselves, touching hot surfaces such as stoves, or making contact with electrical outlets. Fortunately, incidents such as these can be avoided by taking preventative measures.

Degrees of burn• First Degree: Affects only the top layers of the skin;

appears red like a sunburn; discomfort is generally tolerable.

• Second Degree: Deeper and much more painful than first degree burns; broken skin or blisters commonly develop.

• Third Degree: Severe: the deepest layers of skin and tissue are injured; may appear charred or leathery.

Prevention of burns• Check the temperature of your hot water tank.

Temperatures as high as 60°C / 140°F will scald a child in just seconds.

• Use placemats instead of tablecloths. Tablecloths can be pulled downward causing hot drinks or food to spill on a child.

• Turn pot handles to the back of the stove, and ensure cords from kettles, slow cookers, and other electrical appliances cannot be reached.

• Avoid picking up a child while holding any hot liquids.• Secure electrical outlets by installing commercially

available safety devices which prohibit access to them.• Keep children away from areas where appliances are

in use (kettles, irons, hot stoves).

If you require immediate medical attention, call 9-1-1.
