Toole Peet Action Grant Winners Selected
The winners of the Toole Peet Action Grants have been selected! We awarded $7,500 to eight lucky winners. See who won and what “actions” the grant will be helping kick-off! Thank you to everyone who attended the event.

We’re glad the Action grants gave our network a chance to gather (virtually) and connect. During the evening, we heard some great discussions around shared challenges, and common grant asks. We’re glad the Action Grants session was a place where our members could meet!

As one attendee said, “It was never more heartwarming to lose a draw.”

Thanks again for Being Part of It!

Beyond Van Gogh
Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience will delay its opening and now make its Canadian debut on Friday, July 30, 2021, at the BMO Centre at Stampede Park in Calgary. Beyond Van Gogh: The immersive Experience takes art to new heights by projecting the works of Vincent Van Gogh across all surfaces of the venue, granting guests an escape into a world envisioned by his masterpieces. Art will come to life as over three hundred paintings dance and swirl to the sounds of a symphony orchestra and narration quoted directly from Van Gogh’s writings. Beyond Van Gogh, created in Calgary and Montreal with creative partners Normal Studio, made its North American debut in Miami on April 15, where it is on track to sell 120,000 tickets. This experience is currently on sale in Austin, Detroit, Milwaukee, Portland, St. Louis, Honolulu, and many more cities, and is breaking box-office records.

Here are a few highlights from our urban planning world this month.

1. North Hill Communities Local Area Plan
The revised North Hill Communities Plan returned to the Combined Meeting of Council on Monday, June 21, 2021, for decision. Council approved the first reading of the plan. The document will now go to the Calgary Metropolitan Region Board for approval. Following this, the plan will return to Council for second and third readings. If you missed the meeting or want to watch Council again, check out the recording.

You can see a summary of the policies incorporated into the Guide and the redline version of the plan with all the changes; please click here.

2. CUI x Calgary
CUI x Calgary was a week-long virtual residency to learn about Calgary’s local issues and connect the dots across urban Canada. The Canadian Urban Institute spent the week listening to and learning from local stakeholders on their most pressing challenges and surfacing examples of innovative and locally driven solutions. Check out the project page and read the report today!

3. Public Hearing Process Under Review
Public hearings are an excellent way for individuals and organizations to share their opinions directly to Council on how certain Committee and Council agenda items affect them. The views expressed are included in the public record. The City is reviewing the public hearings process and wants to hear your thoughts by July 9. The City is exploring how the system could be more user-friendly and inclusive and identify what works well and what prevents people from participating in a public hearing. Online engagement opened June 14 and runs to July 9.

4. CITIZENS+STUDENTS is Back This Fall!
Since 2013, the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape (SAPL) Master of Planning Program at the University of Calgary and the Federation of Calgary Communities have supported community associations in their decision-making process around land use and development issues. Join us on September 8 to learn more about how your community association can be involved in the project, and take some time to check out past projects!

5. Development Map
Have you heard of the Development Map?

The Development Map is a convenient new tool Calgarians can use to get information about development applications in their area. Launched June 1, citizens can now access application, plans, and renderings on the Development Map. By providing plans/rendering online, Calgarians can be more informed about a proposed development. The tool also allows citizens to offer their input earlier in the process. Try out the map today by clicking the link above, and remember, keep an eye for improvements to the map.

6. City of Calgary Pathway Bikeway Maps

The new 2021 City of Calgary Pathway and Bikeway maps are fresh out of the printers! These maps are a great resource for individuals and families to navigate around their communities and the city. This update map has been simplified, and now shows more places that people want to go to, including schools, playgrounds, and transit stations. If you are interested in having a box of maps sent to your organization, contact Jacquelyn (Jacquelyn.Oriold@calgary.ca) or call 311. The Federation will also have a limited number available for pickup at our office – please contact Edward (planner2@calgarycommunities.com).
