Ward Boundary Commission
The Ward Boundary Commission is inviting Calgarians to share their thoughts in a public engagement on what effective representation at the municipal level means to them. This public engagement is part of a larger review directed by Calgary City Council in June 2023.
The engagement focuses specifically on the activities performed by Councillors (e.g. legislative duties, resolving local issues, communicating with constituents, advocating to other orders of government), as well as the systems Calgarians use to communicate with their Councillors (e.g. 311, email, social media, public hearings, meetings and events).
Visit calgary.ca/heard to fill out the questionnaire, find pop-up event details and learn more about the project.
South Shaganappi Local Area Plan
The Local Area Plan engagement process is well underway. The City will be hosting an open house in May or June and will distribute an information booklet prior to that. More information can be found on the City’s website at engage.calgary.ca/Shaganappi.
University Innovation Quarter (formerly University Research Park)
The University Innovation Quarter is a 76 acre site north of 32 Avenue, south of Crowchild Trail, and east of 37 Street. Planning for redevelopment of this site is underway and public engagement sessions will be held in the next few months. Go to uiqcalgary.com for more information and sign up for their updates
