About CNRCS
Purpose
The CNRCS serves as an organization to enable committed communities located in Northwest Calgary to participate and have input into the development and future operations of a facility that provides recreation activities and programs for residents of Northwest Calgary.
The Team
The CNRCS is a not-for-profit society that was formed in the Summer of 2008. We are comprised of 11 member communities located in Wards 1 and 2 of Calgary civic boundaries. The Community Association for each member community provides funds and appoints representative to carry out the work of the CNRCS. Our members are:
- Arbour Lake
- Citadel
- Edgemont
- Hamptons
- Hawkwood
- Kincora
- Tuscany
- Rocky Ridge/Royal Oak
- Scenic Acres
- Silver Springs
- Valley Ridge
The CNRCS is interested in having other communities become members of the society. We are also interested in forming partnerships with other community organizations that have an interest in the Northwest Recreation Centre project. Please email us at cnrcs.info@gmail.com for more information.
Philosophy
The CNRCS believes a future facility in Northwest Calgary should be designed to meet the needs of the entire community. This means meeting the needs of people of all ages, from toddlers through to seniors; and for those who participate in recreational activities or competitive sports. The CNRCS will set up a forum to ensure that all community stakeholders can provide input in the design and requirements for the future facility.
Our Vision
The NW Recreation Centre will be the preferred destination for individuals of all ages and economic abilities, accessible to enrich their lives by participating in vibrant, healthy programs. The facility will be economically sustainable, environmentally feasible and adaptable to the growing needs of the NW population.
Current Mission
As the Community Advisory Group for the Northwest Calgary Recreation Centre project, the CNRCS is working in partnership with the City of Calgary to support the design and construction of the future facility.
Immediate Action
The City of Calgary is issuing an expression of interest in mid-2009 to find a partner(s) to operate the future facility. This competitive process is conducted by the City in order to select the most suitable partner. The CNRCS is assembling a team to develop the winning proposal to be selected as the operating partner with the City for the project.
