Arbour Lake

Calgary was selected by an international survey to be the 5th best city in the world in which one should choose to live.  Sidney , Australia was voted number two and Vancouver was number three and I believe a city in Switzerland was number four.  A Northwest neighbourhood in Calgary called Arbour Lake was voted by the City of Calgary as the 5th best neighbourhood in all of Calgary. The neighbourhood's were evaluated according to residential neighbourhoods, shopping areas, school facilities, recreational facilities, green spaces, community facilities and lack of crime. I visited my friends at their house in Arbour Lake that they purchased just a year ago and went to check out the plants I gave them for their front flower . I then asked my friend to take me to the local community lake called Arbour Lake. All the residents of Arbour Lake pay a $200 fee for the upkeep of Arbour Lake as an all year round recreational facility. In the summer the lake is used for swimming, fishing and boating. There is a sandy beach for sun tanning and docks for fishing . The lake is stocked with rainbow trout. In the winter, the lake is frozen and becomes a skating rink and in some areas there is ice fishing. On this Monday , Labour Day, the last holiday before the start of the school year . the lake was crowded with families enjoying the last summer holiday.
