April in Fish Creek Spring Birding Course Starts April 1During the spring, hundreds of bird species pass through or reside in Fish Creek Provincial Park. Through the Spring Birding course, you can see, hear, and learn about fascinating bird species, view them as they return from their wintering grounds and enjoy watching new spring arrivals. Registration Required. To register visit www.friendsoffishcreek.org/programs/birding-course.
Every Brick Tells a Story Community members have dedicated almost 180 Anni-versary bricks since 2017. The brick pathway in front of the Cookhouse here at the Bow Valley Ranch is an ever-lasting reminder that that so many people care greatly about the sustainability of this park. Bricks have been dedicated as gifts to friends and family members, in celebration of an anniversary or the birth of a child, as a memorial to a loved one who passed, and for many other reasons. Bricks in the Third Phase of the path-way are selling out quickly and there are fewer than 50 spaces available. It costs only $250 to dedicate a brick and is a tax-deductible donation. To dedicate your brick today, visit www.friendsoffishcreek.org/brick.
Fish Creek Meet-UpsNew for 2019 the Friends are launching a monthly Fish Creek Meet-up group. We hope you are able to join in and connect with others who love Fish Creek! Fish Creek Meet-Ups will be informal group walks with no registration, no fees, no facilitators. Just Friends getting to know Friends while walking through this beautiful park. Meet-Ups will take place at 2:00 pm on the second Sunday of each month at a different location each time. Dates and meeting loca-tions will be posted on the Friends of Fish Creek events calendar. https://friendsoffishcreek.org/events/2019-04.

He uses the beauty and ruggedness of our rolling prairies as a backdrop for his work. The Fish Creek Commun-ity Showcase allows artists, photographers and other members of the community to exhibit their art in the main meeting room of the Cookhouse. The artists re-ceive exposure for their work through our extensive network of members, supporters and volunteers and are able to make sales in this Provincial Park), while the Friends benefit from receiving a percentage of the sales.

Sheldon Chumir Supervised Consumption Site Councillorr Evan Woolley and I took an Urgent Motion forward to address the serious safety concerns arising at the Supervised Consumption Site (SCS) at the Sheldon M. Chumir Health Centre. This began with a police report from Chief Barlow.
The mental health and addictions crisis surrounding opi-oids and crystal meth remains one of the most significant challenges facing Calgary.
The SCS is a vital component in the four-pillar drug strat-egy of harm reduction, prevention, treatment, and enforcement in addressing this crisis. However, there has been a significant escalation of public safety concerns expressed by adjacent residents, businesses, and com-munity organization. Our Motion directs Council to work with many community partners including police and AHS to develop urgent action plans to deal with these safety issues.
Fluoridation StudyI asked Council to revisit the issue of water fluoridation by engaging with U of C’s O’Brien Institute to conduct a thorough study on the health effects of fluoride in Cal-gary’s drinking water.
I originally brought this Motion forward in 2016, but it failed 10-4. As science has progressed significantly since the 2011 decision to de-fluoridate Calgary’s water, I believe that this warrants re-visiting so Council can ap-proach this issue with the latest available research.
A recent study showed that in the time since Calgary de-fluoridated water in 2011, tooth decay in children has increased in Calgary at a faster rate than in Edmonton, indicating a correlation with the de-fluoridation.
This is not about putting fluoride in water and it’s not about keeping it out; it’s about us making the best pub-lic policy decision based on what evidence shows us.
I’m pleased the Motion passed 13-2, and that the O’Brien Institute will be conducting an objective assessment of the effects of fluoride in public water. Results will be brought forward to Council June 2019 and I will chair a full one-day meeting when the report comes back.

Claim All of Your Savings This Tax Season!Income tax season is here, and I want to ensure you are aware of all the benefits you qualify for. This is why I have sent you a Tax Guide in the mail. I encourage you to review it as it outlines all of the tax benefits still available; for families, seniors, homebuyers, working Canadians, and more.
I am proud of the Conservative Party of Canada’s record of keeping taxes low and budgets balanced—and concerned regarding the Liberals’ decision to dispose of many tax credits implemented by our government, from which families, corporations, and individuals benefitted.
You can count on me and my Conservative colleagues to be a strong voice for taxpayers. We want all Canadians not to just get by but get ahead.
Please feel free to contact my office with any questions or com-ments you may have
