Sage Hill Community Association

It’s that time of year! Warm moist air is continually exhausted out of your hot water heater and when it hits the frigid cold air outside it instantly turns to snow. This snow can cause enough resistance to shut down your hot water heater to avoid poisoning your house with natural gas fumes. Check your vents often when it’s cold for obstructions.

Thought this was a relevant topic given the recent posts on Sage Hill Chat.

Opening just in time to welcome our Q Condos, homeowners, home. We are excited to welcome Coop Grocery, Wine Spirits, and Gas Station coming November 2021! Who else is excited? #CommercialDevelopment #YYCConstruction #YYCRealty

Today we launched Operation Cold Start, a crime prevention initiative to prevent warm-up thefts in Calgary. So far this winter, we have had 231 vehicles stolen ...while left running and unattended, including three this morning. Over the next two weeks, officers will be patrolling the city looking identify and disrupt auto theft offenders and educate citizens about the risks of leaving their vehicle running and unattended. Warm-up thefts are crimes of opportunity, where car thieves target vehicles that are left running and unattended. These thefts are preventable, contribute to the high rates of auto theft in our city and create significant risks to public safety. Operation Cold Start is a crime prevention initiative started in December 2016, to address the high number of vehicles that are left running in our city. As part of the operation, officers patrol communities looking for vehicles that are easy targets for thieves. Officers will also be on the lookout for known prolific offenders as well as suspicious persons and vehicles. "We know there are offenders out there who work together to commit these thefts," says Sgt. Pete Barker of the Calgary Police Service District 8 Community Resource Team. "We have seen instances where multiple offenders travel around the city together looking for these unattended vehicles in neighbourhoods or even outside of convenience stores and coffee shops. When they find an easy-to-steal vehicle, it takes them less than 30 seconds to commit the theft and continue on, looking for another vehicle to target." We are asking citizens to help us identify suspicious activity in their area, including: Suspicious people walking around their neighbourhood who seem out of place, are checking vehicles, appear to be loitering or walking aimlessly. Unknown vehicles parked on their street with multiple occupants. Unknown vehicles driving past their street multiple times. If a citizen spots something suspicious, they should let us know immediately by calling 403-266-1234. For crimes-in-progress, always call 9-1-1. #yyc
