The Aurora (Naato'siyinnipi) Area Structure Plan was approved my the Infrastructure & Planning committee on Monday and will be brought forward for approval by city council on September 9th. We need your help to write your city councilor and voice your desires for more green space in the north!

D+ in habitat restoration… if only there were a local creek in desperate need of restoration… 😏 calgaryherald.com/news/calgary...

We were invited to give a West Nose Creek tour for the area’s teachers and administrators with the CBE. Lucked out to have @klaszus.bsky.social from @sprawlcalgary.bsky.social bring his mobile printing press to give the groups a print of the 1943 picture of the Beddington Erratic. #SaveNoseCreek

IT'S WHITE SUCKER SPAWNING SEASON! We were lucky enough to have Freshwater Conservation Canada on our Jane's Walk last week. They are spawning now until the long weekend. Grab some polarized sunglasses and you could see them clearly in the creek. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCfish #yyc #Airdrie #Balzac #abpoli

Our Board of Directors met with Ward 3 Councillor @jasminemian.bsky.social to talk about NoseCreek. The topics ranged from the status of the Nose Creek Park Strategy to Glacial Erratics to Garter Snakes. Lots more engagement needed this year, stay tuned. #SaveNoseCreek #SpeakForNoseCreek #yyc #yyccc

We joined another Jane’s Walk in the Nose Creek Watershed this afternoon. The buried Confederation Creek flows into a channeled part of Nose Creek. Big contrast to this morning’s finds but did see spawning White Suckers! #RaiseConfederationCreek #SaveNoseCreek #JanesWalkYYC #yyc

Today was one of the biggest tours we’ve ever done! A mix of people from all over Calgary and area joined our #JanesWalkYYC. We toured the West Nose Creek Valley and talked about Fish, Erratics, Watershed, and even Actor Paul Newman! Thanks to everyone who came out and participated! #SaveNoseCreek

Despite the chilly weather we still had an amazing turn out! Thank you to Panorama Hills Residents Association for inviting us to guide their Jane’s Walk this year! Huge thanks to Freshwater Conservation Canada for teaching us about the fish in West Nose Creek! #SaveNoseCreek #JanesWalkYYC #yyc

West Nose Creek Jane’s Walk! 10:30am Location: maps.app.goo.gl/E7qBx8QvF293...

Andy came on as one of our youngest volunteers because of his passion for the science behind Nose Creek. We are proud to see he was selected as one of the 3 finalists in the Environmental category for the Youth of Distinction Awards. (1/2) #SaveNoseCreek #YODA2025 #yyc #YouthOfDistinctionAwards

As fun as it is to boat Nose Creek... please don't forget your boat trailer... 🤦 Nose Creek is not a dumping ground. Please stop. #SaveNoseCreek

THIS SUNDAY: (May 4) Our President, Andrew Yule has been asked to lead this year's Panorama Hills Residents Association's Jane's Walk! We will be walking along West Nose Creek and giving an overview of the Past, Present, and Future of this area. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCevents #yyc #SpeakForNoseCreek

Good turnout tonight at the Final Draft Aurora ASP. We still believe we should push the Green Space boundary to the southern road. Once you develop it there’s no going back. Let’s not have any regrets. Virtual Engagement is on May 1. #SpeakForNoseCreek #yyc #yyccc engage.calgary.ca/aurora-asp

Big day TOMORROW (Tues, Apr 29) the Final Draft of the Aurora Area Structre Plan is being presented to the Community at Vivo for Healthier Generations. Please come out and “Speak for Nose Creek!” 6pm-8pm. #SpeakForNoseCreek #SaveNoseCreek #yyc #yyccc engage.calgary.ca/aurora-asp

#FloraFriday: As Prairie Crocuses bloom, here are some more common wildflowers that will soon cover the landscape in the coming months. 1. Alpine Golden Buckwheat (Eriogonum flavum) 2. Western Stoneseed (Lithospermum ruderale) 3. Great Blanketflower (Gaillardia aristata) ( 🧵 1/2) #SaveNoseCreek

This Glacial Erratic is on private land. This makes protection, remediation and storytelling difficult. Federal government could bring “natural monument” laws like they have in Finland. Ask your chosen federal candidate what they think. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCerratic #yyc www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

SLITHERING SATURDAY: The Plains Garter Snake is out enjoying the warmer weather! Watch for them in the Nose Creek Coulees. They are "live bearing" snakes, they don’t lay eggs. They can also swim to escape predators. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCwildlife #Snakes

Your monthly reminder to teach your kids and network about the historic significance of the Glacial Erratics in Calgary. Quartzite Rock from Jasper, travelled here on glaciers, and sacred sites to the Blackfoot Confederacy. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCerratic #yyc #Airdrie #Balzac #RockyViewCounty

The “Dead Marshes” of Nose Creek. Did you know that Coventry Hills has a Naturalized Stormwater Marsh Area? It’s designed to help filter the storm waters before it reaches Nose Creek. We sometimes get Boreal Chorus Frogs in this marsh. #SaveNoseCreek #DeadMarshes #yyc #LOTR

With the Glacial Erratic now cleaned off we've created a new exclusive club. "Club Erratic" a members only club complete with bouncer and velvet ropes. Become a Nose Creek Preservation Society Member today to gain access to this exclusive club. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCerratic #yyc

Bones can be found all up and down the Nose Creek. Our teams seem to be finding them more and more. Historic Bison bones, settler cattle bones and more recent deer bones. We need to do more research in this valley! #SaveNoseCreek #SNChistory #yyc #RockyViewCounty #Airdrie #abpoli

#MiistakisMonday: We are starting a new series showing some of the NoseCreek/West NoseCreek Trail Cam pictures from the Calgary Connect Project that Miistakis Institute is championing.

Today is #InternationalWomensDay! The Nose Creek Preservation Society would not be where it is, without the strong determined women that keep it going! A majority of our board and volunteers are made up of women who want to see Nose Creek protected! #SaveNoseCreek #SNCWomensDay

Great turnout tonight at the Nose Creek ASP. Thank you to all the Creek-Heads who came out to #SpeakForNoseCreek! It early days to this ASP revision, but tonight we gave Nose Creek a voice! #SaveNoseCreek #yyc #RockyViewCounty #Airdrie #yyccc #abpoli #cdnpoli

TONIGHT!!

Hey Creek-Heads! Make sure you attend the Mar 5 “Nose Creek (Community) Area Structure Plan” Engagement on Wednesday! (5-8pm at Livingston Hub) We need a lot of community voices out there to #SpeakForNoseCreek!!! #SaveNoseCreek #yyc #Calgary #yyccc City Engage Page: engage.calgary.ca/nosecreekASP

Happy to report the family of the graffiti taggers made sure the tags were covered this weekend. Appreciate that the taggers took responsibility for their actions. A great example of community coming together and protecting our natural monuments. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCerratic #yyc

Well our Glacial Erratic makeover was very short lived. Less than a week and people have already left new graffiti tags on this sacred rock. Please don't. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCerratic #yyc

Notice anything different about our Glacial Erratic? Our dedicated members have been reporting the graffiti to the city and it recieved this make-over! We will continue to monitor, report and push for protections for this sacred site! #SaveNoseCreek #SpeakForNoseCreek #SNCerratic #yyc

MULE DEER MONDAY: The herd of deer in the Nose Creek Valley are still making their home around the stripping and grading construction North of Country Hills Blvd. We are hopeful they will still have a green-belt to live in, when all is said and done. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCwildlife #yyc #yyccc #abpoli

The Country Hills Blvd Bridge is visited frequently by mischievous dumpers. Please report to 311 if you spot illegal dumping. We've reported to 311, but it will take some time for these items to thaw before they can be removed. #SaveNoseCreek #yyc #Calgary

MEMBERSHIP MONDAY: We are HALFWAY! This season we are hoping to get 100 members ahead of our September 2025 AGM. Please consider joining the ranks of our memebership to help us "Speak For Nose Creek!" #SaveNoseCreek #NCPSmembership savenosecreek.com/membership

She’s back!?! We believe this is the lone pronghorn that we have been tracking for 2 years. If so, she is STILL making her home in and around the Nose Creek Valley! #SaveNoseCreek #SNCpronghorn #yyc #RockyViewCounty #Airdrie #Balzac Pic: Joel Forre (iNaturalist) www.inaturalist.org/observations...

Happy Valentine’s Day Creek-Heads! Share this post with that special someone! #SaveNoseCreek #ValentinesDay
