About the Cougar Ridge Residents Association
Behind the upkeep, there's a group of neighbors making it happen.
Who Are We?
The Cougar Ridge Residents Association (CRRA) is a resident-led, not-for-profit public company established to provide care and upkeep for the shared spaces within the Cougar Ridge Residents Association boundaries. We exist to enhance and maintain landscaped medians, entry features, signage, and green spaces beyond the level of service provided by the City of Calgary.
Our work is funded through an annual fee, legally registered as an encumbrance on every Cougar Ridge Residents Association Member residential property developed by United Communities Inc., Apex LP, or Cougar Ridge Developers Ltd. This fee supports operations, seasonal maintenance, and replacement services.
CRRA boundaries
The Cougar Ridge Residents Association is comprised of the properties in two separate sections of the Cougar Ridge community. The Boundaries Map below outlines these two sections.
The CRRA focus is to enhance the green spaces, pathways, and road edges within these boundaries, above the level of service provided by the City of Calgary. The CRRA also maintains the community entrance features at Old Banff Coach Road & 77th Street, Old Banff Coach Road & 85th Street, Old Banff Coach Road & Cougar Ridge Drive, 85th Street & Cougar Ridge Drive, and 85th Street & Paskapoo Drive. In addition, the CRRA maintains the gardens and flowerpots in the medians along 77th Street, 85th Street, and Paskapoo Drive which are shared spaces with non-CRRA sections.
How We Operate
The CRRA is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors, elected at the CRRA AGM. The CRRA is supported by First Service Residential, a property management company responsible for billing, administration, and day-to-day operations.
The following are the current CRRA Board members.
Association Documents
The following are the governing documents for the CRRA Board and CRRA Resident Members.
The CRRA "Memorandum of Understanding" is the foundational legal document for the Company. CRRA Board members, and the CRRA resident Members, must adhere to this document. As part of this document, it outlines the objects for which the Company (The Cougar Ridge Residents Association) was established.
The CRRA "Articles of Association" serves as the Company's internal constitution, defining rules, management structure, and responsibilities of the Directors and resident Members. It governs the internal affairs and procedures. It references the "Memorandum of Understanding" and the "Encumbrance".
To simplify, the "Memorandum of Understanding" defines the Company's external scope and objectives and the "Articles of Association" focus on internal regulations. These documents pertain to the CRRA board and all its Resident Members.
The "Encumbrance" is legally registered on every property in the Cougar Ridge Residents Association. This document outlines the Covenant, Acknowledgement and Agreement of the CRRA resident Members. The CRRA resident Member is obligated to pay the associated annual fee.
