Dear Residents of Crossbow Point,

The Board, working in conjunction with the Social Committee, decided to purchase 3 Automated External Defibrillators (AED) for use at Crossbow Point.  With your help, they may save a life one day.

AEDs are used to revive someone from sudden cardiac arrest.  This usually occurs when a disruption in the heart’s electrical activity causes a dangerously fast heartbeat or a fast and irregular heartbeat.

The AEDs are conveniently located inside each building entrance (155, 175 & 165 - Amenities Building),are very easy to use, and are available to anyone in an emergency situation.

Important:
 
We ask that everyone take about 30 minutes to familiarize themselves with the AEDs and online training:

1. Visit each building entrance and know where the device is located (knowing this is vital).
Large signs help to identify the unit.  The units are inside an unlocked, alarmed cabinet.

2. Review the 4 minute video below on the use of the Philips HeartStart AED

3. Review this FAQ from Alberta Health Services
https://secure.heart-safe.ca/theme/common/page.cfm?i=10624

While training in CPR is not necessary to use an AED (the AED will verbally instruct you), knowing CPR is an essential skill and anyone can be trained. Here is a 2:49 minute video on CPR.

Onsite demonstrations on the use of AEDs are planned in the coming weeks.
CPR training classes will be facilitated.  Watch for further information.
A dedicated webpage with AED information will be launched shortly on our website.

With winter snow, especially when wet and sticky, your vehicle's wheel wells and undercarriage can become significantly snow laden. Upon entering the garage (or if a P1-155 user, prior to entering that space) we ask that you consider using one of our car washes (P2 of 155 or P1 of 175) to remove accumulated snow and debris prior to parking. As usual, please clean up the area after use of the car wash.
 
This practice would benefit all parking areas and keep stalls and travel lanes cleaner. This is particularly important for P1-155 users as snow melt in some sections can be at risk of seeping into the lower parking lot.
 
Thank you for your consideration.
 
Your volunteer Board

​Summer - how to turn off your pilot light
 and other information for the fall

We have updated our website to now provide substantially more information on the operation of the fireplace, including pictures. The quick link to the applicable webpage is HERE.

We are pleased to advise that a 'community herb planter' is available and ready for all to use and enjoy.

The planter is the large red one at the top of the 175 driveway, adjacent to the sidewalk. Also, there is a tomato plant a small wicker pot.  Tags in the planter identify the plantings.

We thank Kevin and the Landscaping Committee for arranging this additional amenity for residents. 

The Crossbow Annual General meeting will be held in person at Solara Resort & Spa (187 Kananaskis Way). The AGM scheduled for April 29, 2023 at 11:30 am with sign in starting at 11:00 am. The AGM is followed by the Crossbow Point Annual Committee Meeting (ACM) at 12:30. An AGM package has been sent to all owners by email or by mail for those that have not signed up for email correspondence.

As there is limited street parking on Kananaskis Way, we recommend that attendees either take the Roam transit bus or car pool.
​
If you are unable to attend in person, we do ask that you return a proxy to help achieve quorum. A copy of the Annual Committee meeting package has been sent to all owners.
 
Owners who wish to serve on the Board of Directors for either Landing or Point will be required to submit a Board Volunteer form (included in package). This form needs to be returned to PEKA no later than April 14. Owners who volunteer for the Board will not be giving a presentation during the meeting, so we do ask that you fill out the form with all pertinent information. The submitted forms will be circulated to all owners on or before April 18.
 
A question form has also been included. We ask that all questions be submitted no later than April 24. This will allow the respective Boards time to respond in advance of the meeting.
 
Board elections will only be held if there are more than 5 volunteers per side (Landing or Point). Voting for the Board if applicable, will be done by ballot.

Notice from PEKA:

Good afternoon Owners,
 
The Crossbow Point Board of Directors has retained the services of Banff Plumbing to complete a full drain stack cleaning in both 155 and 175. This work will all be done in the parkade, and unit access is not required. The plumbers have scheduled the work for 2 days per building between 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Vehicles will need to be removed for the duration of this work to help facilitate the work being completed. Please have vehicles moved by 8:00 a.m. on both days.
 
Building 155 has been scheduled for April 3 & 4. If they do not require the full 2 days, we will let owners know.
Building 175 has been scheduled for April 5 & 7. Again, if they do not require the full 2 days, we will let owners know.
 
Efficient Parkade Cleaning will be on site to clean the parkades on April 19 (155) & 20 (175). Vehicles will need to be removed on these days as well. An additional email will be sent out as a reminder.
 
If you have private tenants, please share this information with them. If your unit is managed by the PEKA rental team, those tenants will be notified on your behalf.
