the amazing instructors we have at the Beach Club.

Support Local
As you know, our local businesses are taking a hard hit due to COVID-19, please know that our thoughts are
with you and your business at this time. Most restaurants remain open with curbside pickup, delivery options
and SkipTheDishes doorstep drop-off. Take advantage of supporting local and a night off from cooking supper!
If you are a local business and remain open, we want to support YOU! Email us a photo of your business or
how you remain open during the pandemic to info@mahoganyhoa.com to be featured on our social media
pages and the next What’s Up Mahogany.
If you are supporting local, we also want to hear from you! Email us at info@mahoganyhoa.com or tag us on
Instagram @mahoganyhoa to be featured.

THANK YOU
To our healthcare workers, grocery store cashiers, parents at home, teachers, family caring for loved ones,
transit drivers and to everyone feeling the impact of COVID-19. We are in this together and at no time should
anyone feel like they are alone. Engage in a social distancing walk, catch up with an old friend or pickup a new
hobby!
Ideas, Tip/Tricks, Positivity?
Mahogany is a tight-knit community that can use each other’s inspiration to make the best out of the COVID-19
pandemic. Whether it be a new hobby you picked up while staying at home, a useful online learning website for
children, a yummy recipe or simply something positive that has happened, let us know at
info@mahoganyhoa.com! We will be sure to share it with the community.
Nextdoor
Nextdoor is the neighbourhood hub. Nextdoor is the best way to stay informed about what’s going on in your
neighbourhood—whether it’s finding a last-minute babysitter, planning a local event, or sharing safety tips.
There are so many ways our neighbours can help us, we just need an easier way to connect with them.
Join Mahogany now!
Nextdoor was created to bring neighbours together – this is important in good times and essential in times of
need. Maybe you need groceries due to self-isolation or maybe you are not well enough to take your dog for a
walk. Your neighbours can help through Nextdoors newly launched Help Map.
Distance Portraits
We stumbled on an awesome idea to help spread some joy in our neighbourhood. A Yellowknife Photographer
- Pat Kane, inspired a prominent YYC Photographer, Erik McRitchie, that now has us feeling inspired by their
distance portraits!
Your MHOA reached out to some of our very own local photographers to create a series of Mahogany portraits
to help spread some joy in these uncertain times.
Want a free portrait!?!
Simply fill out the online form here and book yourself and/or your family into a timeslot and also sign the
release form that allows us and the photographers to share your image on social media and our website. The
photo will be emailed to you by the photographer afterwards. While there is no cost for this we do encourage
that you pay this small kindness forward in the days to come!
We would love to send a local photographer to your home in the days to come to get a portrait! Line up on your
porch, assemble in your front window, sit on your front steps… whatever works for you! We encourage you to
put some creativity into your portrait and do what you can to help spread joy!
Portraits will be posted on:

Community Crime Statistics
Mahogany Crime Statistics Update
A Message from Community Resource Officer – District 8 – Zone 4, Cst. Anthony Thompson
March 24, 2020
I hope that you are all doing well, staying healthy and adjusting to the drastic changes to your everyday
routines as we deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. I simply wanted to reach out this morning to assure you that
in these very uncertain times, the Calgary Police Service is here to help in any way we can. I am very certain
that many people in our communities are extremely stressed given the circumstances and may need support
and reassurance now more than ever. If you or any members of your communities are in need of any
assistance, please reach out. Although we are continually developing new best practices, our front line
members are continuing to serve the community just as they have in the past. With the need for social
distancing many of the calls for service will be handled a little differently, utilizing phone calls and email as
much as possible, but the calls for service will be answered and we will continue to do the best we can to serve
the citizens of Calgary.
I will continue to touch base with any messaging related to crime trends and update District 8 through our
District 8 Facebook Group. I am monitoring the WhatsApp Crime Watch community groups that have been set
up in District 8 as well. Both of these are firsts for the City of Calgary and just another tool for community and
police to work together efficiently in these evolving times. Take care of yourselves and each other.
