Meadowlark Park Community Association
Meadowlark
Park participates in the Calgary Block Watch program
Block Watch operates on the premise that the police cannot be everywhere
all the time, and as a result they are unable to effectively investigate,
reduce, and prevent crime by themselves.
Thus, in order to keep the community safe, the police require the
assistance of all citizens in identifying and reporting suspicious or
criminal activities.
Block Watch is successful in preventing and reducing crime when people
get involved and stay involved. Each community is responsible for
establishing a Block Watch Association that is responsible for
implementing, coordinating, and managing the effectiveness of the Block
Watch Program.
Block Watch can succeed only if it is well organized and supported by a
majority of community members. The more people involved the more
effective the Program will be.
Education, information, increased awareness, citizen involvement and
action are the key components for ensuring a safe, crime-free community.

Commander Steps Down
Meadowlark's Blockwatch Commander has stepped down from the portfolio for personal reasons. Jennifer Smith has worked hard over the past two years to ensure that Meadowlark residents understand the Program and how it works. She has shown tremendous enthusiasm in looking after the interests of the community and she will be missed. Jennifer will be staying on the community Executive as a "Director at Large", which will allow her to assist with community events as needed.
The Blockwatch portfolio will now be managed by a subcommittee of volunteers who stepped up at the AGM of May 2nd, under the auspices of Membership's Verna Leask. The three new volunteers are Chris Mulders, Wendy Boulanger, and Nancy Evanson.
