Happy Lunar New Year to our residents that celebrate this festive occasion. 2024 marks the year of the Dragon, representing health, strength, and good fortune.

Winter makes it possible to enjoy our Calgary parks in a different way than any other season. Many winter activities are also free with minimal equipment needed. There are many ways to stay active during winter, from snowshoeing, to cross country skiing. We would like to thank our volunteer Kincorians who assisted with the construction and flooding of the ice rink and continue to do so throughout the season.

Calgary’s ultimate winter festival returns February 2 to 19, 2024. This year’s event will warm up our city with a celebration of community, culture, and civic pride, where the best of Calgary’s art, music, theatre, sport, and recreation will be on display.

For the past three winters, Chinook Blast has captivated Calgarians and visitors by bringing downtown Calgary to life with an incredible lineup of activities and performances to help you beat the winter blues. This year will again feature a sizzling lineup of art installations, live music, thrilling winter sports, local markets, live shows and so much more.

The KCA is planning for Kincora’s annual Winter Festival. Check the Kincora Community Association website for volunteer and event information: www.kincora.org.

The completion of the Kincora gazebo renovation is being planned to coincide with the 2024 KCA Winter Festival.

Homeowners Association (HOA) fees were due in January and accounts with outstanding 2023 balances have had interest updated. Accounts in their second year of arrears are charged a $25 late fee for land title searches to update owner contact information. The 2023 financials are being finalized and will be sent to our auditors before the 2024 AGM in June.
