Resources & FAQ

Understand community fees, maintenance responsibilities and seasonal services like snow removal. Here, you’ll find clear guidance on annual RA fees, when and how to pay them, and what services are covered during the developer’s initial maintenance period. Whether you’re a new homeowner or a long-time resident, this page helps you stay informed and connected to the operations that keep Glacier Ridge running smoothly.

Fees

Annual fees for the Glacier Ridge Residents’ Association (RA) are mandatory and vary by home type. For the 2025 calendar year, single-family homes are assessed $465 annually, while multifamily (condominiumized) homes pay $375. These fees are reviewed each year by the RA’s Board of Directors and may be adjusted. An encumbrance registered against each property title requires homeowners to pay these fees. Invoices are issued by March 31, with payment due by April 30. The first year’s fee is paid at closing as part of your statement of adjustments; ongoing payments begin the following year. For instance, if you take possession in 2028, your first direct payment to the RA will be due in April 2029. Note that fees will not be collected or accrued until construction of the Village is complete.

Community Maintenance

As the community developer, Anthem is responsible for the maintenance and care of all common areas and community infrastructure for two years following the completion of construction. This includes upkeep of parks, playfields, playgrounds, pathways, sidewalks, streets and boulevards. After this two-year period, responsibility for ongoing maintenance is transferred to the community’s Residents’ Association (RA). If you’re unsure who is responsible for a specific area or notice something that needs attention, you can contact the Anthem team at info@glacierridgera.com or call 311 to reach the City.

Snow Removal

During the initial two-year maintenance period, Anthem also manages seasonal services such as regular street sweeping and snow removal. Snow is cleared from collector roads when snowfall exceeds 5 cm. After the maintenance handover to the RA, snow removal responsibilities may shift depending on the area and local agreements. For clarity on snow removal responsibilities in your area, reach out to Anthem or contact 311 for City-managed services.

Frequently Asked Questions

    An RA is a not-for-profit organization established by a developer in order to own and maintain certain amenities on private property

  • WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS TO BEING A PART OF THE GLACIER RIDGE RESIDENTS’ ASSOCIATION?

    By paying your annual fee, you help fund and have access to a private facility (the Glacier Ridge Village), help expand amenities in public spaces not otherwise provided by the City and help provide additional maintenance and beautification to your community.

    The annual fees depend on your home style. For the 2025 calendar year, single-family homes (including paired and street towns) pay $465 per year and multifamily homes (condominiumized) pay $375. Fees may change as decided by an annual review process by the RA’s Board of Directors.

  • AM I OBLIGATED TO PAY THE FEES?

    Yes. Each home in Glacier Ridge has an encumbrance registered against the title by the Glacier Ridge Residents’ Association which requires the owner to pay the fees.

  • WHEN ARE THE FEES DUE?

    The RA will send out invoices for the annual fee on or before March 31 of each year and payment of the fee is due by April 30. The first year of your RA fees are paid at the time of closing of your home as part of your statement of adjustments. Residents will be responsible for paying RA fees starting the following year.

  • WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION (CA) AND A RESIDENTS’ 
ASSOCIATION?

    While the names are similar, Residents’ Associations and Community Associations serve very distinct purposes.

      • CAs are created in coordination with The City of Calgary. These volunteer-run, not-for-profit organizations play an important role in fostering communication and relationships with other community associations and The City of Calgary to better deliver programs, amenities and services to residents of all communities in the City. Membership in a CA is available to all residents within their geographically defined neighbourhood for a nominal fee, but membership is entirely voluntary. CAs are created to enhance the interaction between the communities and best utilize the services offered by The City of Calgary to all communities. The Councilor’s Office and City representatives often attend monthly community association meetings to discuss broader topics such as crime and safety mitigation or partnerships with community resource officers. Refer to The City of Calgary website for more information.
      • RAs are not-for-profits created for the specific purpose of funding, owning, operating and maintaining enhanced community amenities over and above what is provided by The City of Calgary. RA membership is mandatory for any property owner within Glacier Ridge and is registered on the title of your property. Anyone who purchases property in Glacier Ridge becomes a member of the Glacier Ridge Residents’ Association. The Glacier Ridge RA is created solely for the benefit of community residents.
  • WHO RUNS THE GLACIER RIDGE RESIDENTS’ ASSOCIATION?

    Anthem currently manages all functions of the RA. Ultimately, there will be an elected volunteer Board of Directors responsible for administering decisions related to the goals of the RA.

  • WHAT AMENITIES WILL BE AT THE VILLAGE?
