Scott moved from a community called The Crossroads and has been in New Brighton for over 5 years. He loves that New Brighton is full of pathways, water bodies, birds, and many different types of people. You may see Scott on his deck, or walking throughout the community with his family.

He loves everything the Clubhouse provides and believes that just because New Brighton does not have lake access that the community is no better or worse for it. He enjoys that without lake access it allows the New Brighton Residents Association team to host events off-property in unique areas of Calgary. Scott is constantly impressed by the caliber of people who call New Brighton home, and in the last five years he has seen so many different sports events, concerts, tournaments, and of course the New Brighton Stampede Breakfast.

Scott and his family love skating in the winter, going to the splash park in the summer, and watching the changing leaves in the spring and fall. He has called the City of Calgary – Water Services home for the last 23 years. Scott has seen many neighbourhoods and is glad to have purchased here in the SE.
