Ask a Manager

Hey Auburn Bay! Has there ever been a question that you wanted to ask our managers about, whether it’s regarding events, programs, landscaping, procedures, policies and more? Well here is your chance. Each month our General Manager will select one question to answer from our residents, and our reply will be answered in the next newsletter. If you have a question that you have been pondering about, feel free to forward it to rrcoordinator@auburnbay.org

What kind of fish do we have in the lake and how many can I take home each month?

We currently have Rainbow Trout, Tiger Trout, Brook Trout & Grass Carp. The daily take home limit is 2 fish per resident, with a monthly limit of 12 per household Any fish kept by guests are included in the residents totals

CreditCardProcessingFee

Last year, the ABRA Board of Directors introduced a $7.50 Credit Card Processing Fee to alleviate our expenses related to merchant fees. As of March 2024, ABRA has successfully saved nearly $50,000 in merchant expenses. In light of these savings, ABRA has decided to maintain the implementation of this fee exclusively for this year’s annual fees If you prefer not to bear this cost, alternative payment methods are available:

1. Debit – You can pay by debit in-person at Auburn House 9am-10pm Monday to Sunday.

2.Cheque– Please make your cheque payable to the ‘Auburn Bay Residents Association’ and drop it off or mail it to Auburn House.

3. Cash– You can pay with cash in-person at Auburn House 9am-5pm Monday to Friday ONLY.

NeighbourDay

June15thisNeighbourDay!

Neighbour Day is Calgary’s celebration of community connection. Held each year on the third Saturday in June, Neighbour Day is a step toward creating welcoming and inclusive communities where neighbours connect and belong every day of the year.

Good things happen when you get to know your neighbours. They can add a friendly visit to your day, and you can lend a helping hand when needed. Social connection with neighbours reduces loneliness and isolation and builds strong communities where people feel they belong.

IdeasforcelebratingNeighbourDay

Organize a block party (permits are free) or backyard BBQ with your neighbours

Organize a neighbourhood sports activity or picnic in the park

Request a fire truck or police officer for a visit Lend a helping hand to a neighbour

WaterRestrictionsInformationfromABRA

In response to the current water supply situation and in adherence to our commitment to responsible resource management, the City of Calgary announces the enforcement of water restrictions for lake communities, effective May 31, 2024 Unusually dry conditions and escalating demand have placed significant strain on the city's water reservoirs, necessitating these measures to safeguard water availability for essential needs and ensure the sustainability of our water supply over the long term.

As caretakers of lake communities within Calgary, we acknowledge the concerns these restrictions raise for our operational managers A decline in lake levels could have substantial ramifications for the aquatic ecosystem and lake infrastructure, including liners, docks, and aeration systems. While each Resident Association (RA)/Homeowners Association (HOA) is devising preventative strategies to mitigate such impacts, our approaches vary Some of the drought mitigation efforts being implemented by ABRA include: Irrigation Restrictions: We will limit irrigation to specific days and times as our irrigation systems draw directly from the lake. Residents are encouraged to adhere to the prescribed watering schedule to minimize water waste.

1 Lake Aeration Operation: ABRA will adjust our aeration schedule to reduce water evaporation Close monitoring of lake oxygen levels will ensure alignment with Alberta Health Services standards and make diligent efforts to ensure our water temperatures are at the desired level for our healthy aquatic ecosystem.

2 Rainwater Collection: Installation of rainwater barrels for park plant maintenance will be undertaken by ABRA 3.

4

Landscaping: ABRA is embracing a shift in our approach to landscaping by exploring innovative designs such as xeriscaping that align with environmental sustainability, decreasing reliance on city water, and maintaining our community's vibrancy.

5.

ABRA Wells: Despite historically low production, ABRA water well is being pursued for a water license. This effort aims to establish water reserves for potential future use

These restrictions are vital to ensure our community's access to sufficient water during this challenging period. We urge all residents and businesses to comply with these measures and embrace water-saving practices in their daily routines. The RA/HOAs are actively collaborating with each other and with the City of Calgary to continuously monitor the situation, and will disseminate updates as necessary.

We extend our gratitude for the cooperation and understanding of all residents and stakeholders as we collectively strive to conserve our invaluable water resources.
