Celebrate Canada Day at Confederation Park!

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.

Tree Education Programs

Tree Education Programs

Calgary Parks is working with citizens to encourage the proper planting and maintenance of Calgary's urban forest. We will be visiting the selected 25 ReTree communities in 2017 to plant trees on public property and provide education programs for community residents to encourage proper care and maintenance of their own private trees. The following 2017 ReTree communities are offering tree education programs. View the programs available in your community. Not all communities offer all programs. Note: Minimum registration for programs is 10 persons. If program is cancelled, we will try to accommodate those affected into other programs in the closest community.
