Pedestrians Motorists • Avoid talking on cell phones, texting, or any other behavior that diverts your attention away from driving. • Give right of way to pedestrians who have activated overhead crossing lights, or who are waiting to cross from a street corner. • Remember, it is illegal to pass vehicles - other than those that are parked - in school zones or playground zones, during posted hours. And motorists both have an important role to play – road safety is a shared responsibility. Around school buses • Flashing amber lights mean a bus is slowing down to stop. Motorists should do likewise. • No matter which direction you are coming from, STOP, when approaching a school bus with activated flashing red lights – unless the bus is on the opposite side of a divided highway from you. • Driver courtesy goes a long way. By simply being alert and cautious when approaching a school bus, you are contributing to school bus safety. Pedestrians • Cross only at marked crosswalks, or street corners that have clear visibility from all directions. • Make eye contact with all drivers before crossing the street. • When activating overhead crossing lights, pause before stepping off the curb to ensure motorists in both directions have come to a complete stop. • Stay within the crosswalk lines until fully clear of the roadway. • Obey pedestrian lights at intersections. Cross the street only when you see the ‘walk’ sign and only when all cars have come to a complete stop. • If you are with young children or pets, hold your child’s hand firmly and keep a solid grip on leashes when crossing. • Remember: children learn by observing. By demonstrating safe crossing habits, you can reduce the chances of your child being involved in a preventable auto/pedestrian collision. REGISTER NOW FOR FALL!

Because of this, I brought forth and received support from Council colleagues in asking for a review of our naming process to have greater oversight.

They include defined outcomes for each of the five priority areas and 44 strategic actions to provide direction for City of Calgary Administration. These priorities are, as follows: • A prosperous city • A well-run city • A city of inspiring neighbourhoods • A healthy and green city • A city that moves In July, proposed increases and changes to Transit rates were brought to Council, in conjunction with the Budget talks.

As such, rate increases were not approved and Administration will report back to Council this fall with new recommendations, including those for all low income Calgarians. Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation On July 1st, the Federal Government’s comprehensive new Anti-Spam Legislation came into effect. This legislation is designed to protect Canadians while ensuring that businesses can still operate and market to its customers and consumers. This piece of legislation has also changed the way my office is able to contact you about Ward 13 and City issues.

This fall, the Wellness Engagement will be facilitated by yours truly and Dr. Talbot; and will feature a town-to-town tour, which will facilitate community conversations for individuals to share their ideas and priorities for wellness. Coming together to discuss how we can promote and encourage wellness will lead to the transformative actions needed to improve health outcomes and quality of life for Albertans. The engagement will provide Albertans who choose to participate with an opportunity to shape the discourse of wellness policy in Alberta for years to come.

Wise Investments in Innovative Medical Research in Alberta Your government is helping to improve the health and wellbeing of Albertans facing brain and mental health issues, as well as chronic diseases. The $200 million investment is designed to transform medical research in Alberta for students of Campus Alberta, and for people throughout the world. The funding is targeted at brain and mental health studies, and in research of infections and inflammation. Your government is providing $100 million over 10 years through an agreement with the University of Calgary, to match the donation by international businessman and U of C alumnus Geoffrey Cumming. More than 2,400 students are enrolled in the Cumming School of Medicine, which has seven research institutes, more than $140 million in annual sponsored research, and employs over 3,500 people. Alberta Launches Mentorship Campaign to Support Children and Youth in Care Growing up can be difficult; and one caring adult who provides guidance and encouragement in a child’s life can make all the 16 difference. Too many of our children and youth come into care from unhealthy, unsafe homes: there are about 8,000 children in government care at any given point in time; and many have never experienced a positive role model in their lives. That’s why our government is launching a province-wide mentorship campaign to support these children and youth. “#8000mentors” is a recruitment campaign with the goal to find a caring, adult mentor for every child in care in Alberta, while attracting more mentors--particularly from Aboriginal and ethno-cultural communities--who can share important cultural experiences and community connections with young people of similar backgrounds. #8000mentors will include print, radio, and social media messages to create awareness of the need for mentors. In addition, $365,000 is provided to three community agencies to help attract, train, and match mentors with children and youth in care. Mentoring is key to addressing many of the root causes that bring children into care; and it supports our 5-point plan to improve the child intervention system. Children with mentors have a greater chance at success; do better in school; have higher self-esteem; are less likely to be involved with crime or drugs; and are more likely to give back to their community. Currently, youth in care between the ages of 13 and 20 are in most need of a mentor. Our government is encouraging business and community leaders to promote and provide mentorship opportunities for young people. Please consider stepping up and donating your time to help a child in need; it can be literally life changing! Tell your family, friends, colleagues about #8000mentors and ask them to get involved. Let’s work together to create hope and opportunity for all young people in Alberta. To learn more and sign up to be a mentor, please visit www.Albertamentors.ca/8000mentors. Albertans Can Receive 8 weeks of Job-protected Leave to Care for Gravely Ill Family Members Employees taking compassionate care leave can return to the same or comparable position (similar to new mothers after maternity leave or armed forces reservists when they return from duty). Employees must have worked at least 1 year for their employer to be eligible, and must provide a certificate signed by the attending physician regarding the grave condition of the family member and his or her need for care. Alberta Remains On Course for Economic Success in the Year Ahead In the last fiscal year, Alberta created more jobs than all other provinces combined! Our strong balance sheet at the end of the fiscal year demonstrates our fiscally responsible budget, which enabled us to turn a corner financially—while dealing with the devastating effects of the flood. Despite this $6 billion event, volatile energy prices, and an influx of newcomers to Alberta, we ended the fiscal year with an operational surplus of $2.5 billion, and a fiscal plan surplus of $755 million. Alberta is leading all other provinces with economic growth of 3.9% GDP--nearly double the national rate--and our unemployment rate continues to remain the lowest in the country. As we move forward, we will continue to spend responsibly while investing in the core programs and services that are priorities for Albertans. We will also continue to build for the future—one in which an ever growing number of people will be proud to call Alberta their home! september 2014 I Great News Publishing I Call 403-263-3044 for advertising opportunities Bridlewood MLA CALgAry - ShAW JeFF WILSoN Ph: 403-256-8969 • Fax: 403-256-8970 328, 22 Midlake Blvd SE Calgary, AB T2X 2X7 calgary.shaw@assembly.ab.ca www.facebook.com/JeffWilsonMLA Real Estate Stats Last 12 Months Bridlewood MLS Real Estate Sale Price Update Average Asking Price Average Sold Price July 2014 $433,046 $425,576 June 2014 $436,134 $431,354 May 2014 $435,677 $434,393 April 2014 $426,868 $424,663 March 2014 $419,279 $421,412 February 2014 $437,410 $431,444 January 2014 $394,263 $393,490 December 2013 $395,328 $390,464 November 2013 $401,580 $395,850 October 2013 $419,276 $411,384 September 2013 $396,373 $389,404 August 2013 $402,271 $398,333 I am writing this September newsletter with a degree of sadness as today it is just the end of July.

Some highlights for me this summer so far in Calgary Shaw: My plot is still flourishing at the Mid- Sun Community Garden and I am looking forward to a bumper crop to donate to the Calgary Food Bank. I was overwhelmed with the response to my challenge to our neighbours to host a block party this summer. I have attended a number already this month and there are several more in the works for August and September. I know community building goes on every day in our neighbourhoods, but it is truly inspiring to see it in action at these block parties.

Unfortunately, some children are denied this positive experience because they’re involved in bullying. Bullying is a serious problem in schools across our city and, recognizing the gravity of the situation, the Calgary Police Service supports the www.howwasyour day.ca website, designed to encourage parents to ask their children about their lives and not just settle for “fine” or “good” as answers. Most anti-bullying campaigns tend to focus on social awareness, but the goal of howwasyourday.ca is to initiate more action against bullying. Being afraid and worried about going to school should not be a part of the lives of Calgary’s children. The website provides tips for parents, teachers and children. Parents can find information on how to deal with their child being bullied, or what to do if their child is a bully, as well as information to tell children if they witness bullying. Teachers will find resources and tips for addressing bullying, and children can reference the site to gain a better understanding of bullying and how to stop it. Children who are bullied may not talk about their experiences because they feel ashamed, or don’t think that an adult will believe them or help them. Howwasyourday.ca suggests some of the following questions you 20 can ask your child to learn more about what is going on in their lives: • What was the best thing/worst thing that happened today? • Who do you spend time with at school? What are they like? • Do you get along with people at school? • How do you treat other children? • What is it like on the bus/on the school yard/on the walk to and from school? • How would you describe bullying? What is it like? • What happens in the school hallways or in the lunchroom? • Does anyone you know get picked on at school? What do you think about it? • Do any kids you know get mean emails or messages? What would you do if you got one? Bullying is violence and, if not stopped, can lead to more violent behavior as children grow up. Statistics show that as many as one out of four elementary school students who bully have a criminal record by the time they’re 30 years old. As parents, teachers and children, we need to pull together to put a stop to bullying. Children should no longer fear going to school and other children shouldn’t think that they can bully their peers.
