Motel Village Re-Development Meeting

by

A Motel Village (Banff Trail and16th Avenue NW) re-development proposal is currently under consideration.

The proposal includes four floors of commercial development – one floor of restaurants, three medical floors, and a 30-storey residential tower designed for students. The developer is proposing 28 parking spots for students in the residential tower, 28 for visitors, 4 for offices, 91 for medical, and 64 for the restaurants. It is our understanding that the applications for rezoning and a development permit were filed in the fall, but the HH-BH community association was only advised of this on April 3. There is a very short timeline to respond.

A meeting is being held at the HH-BH Community Centre on Wednesday, April 26 at 7:00 PM to discuss these applications, and how people in the community can effectively respond at this late date.

Celebrate Canada Day at Confederation Park!

by

Canada Day in Calgary promises to be bigger and better than ever this year, as we celebrate our country’s 150th birthday. As one of two City of Calgary-led Canada Day celebrations, we’re kicking off the festivities at Confederation Park on July 1st! Come out with your family and friends, and join us for family-friendly activities from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. Enjoy a free pancake breakfast, horse-drawn wagon rides, live entertainment on the Stampede stage, a new natural play space and the opening of a 1967 time capsule. There will be lots to do and see, including recent park improvements, which are being made both for Canada Day and to honour Confederation Park’s 50th anniversary. After the Confederation Park activities, be sure to head downtown for a fun-filled afternoon and evening, finishing off the day with spectacular fireworks along Riverfront Avenue near the Centre Street Bridge.

Further information will be available at calgary.ca/Canada150 as details are finalized.
