Landscaping changes on West Springs Gate medians are being coordinated with contractor and City, and are expected in July 2023.
The WSFHOA continues to be managed by a voluntary Board of Directors elected at the Association's Annual General Meetings. The Directors are responsible to interact via Simco Management with the City, the Province of Alberta, suppliers, contractors and Home Owners to ensure the WSFHOA satisfies its mandate and meets all requirements for continued viability.
There is occasional confusion about what constitutes the common areas for which the WSFHOA is responsible versus the responsibilities of the City and the individual Homeowner.
The table below covers items on which we have received questions and the appropriate contact if you have a concern regarding any of those areas.
