Brian Murray was at today’s @bildedmontonmetro Housing Alberta Luncheon, where Minister Jason Nixon spoke on Alberta’s vision for sustainable growth, housing solutions, and infrastructure ...development.
Key topics included increasing housing supply, maintaining affordability, reducing red tape, streamlining approvals, and addressing trade barriers—both within Canada and internationally.
The conversation underscored the importance of collaboration and investment in building resilient communities across Alberta.
Thank you to BILD Edmonton Metro for hosting, and to Minister Nixon & Katrina Rowe of @cantirohomes for an engaging and timely discussion.

How do we move the needle on housing? 🏠
Kathy, Chris, and Jack spent the day at the 2025 Unlocking Doors: Housing Supply and Affordability Summit exploring exactly that.
We ...heard from Premier Danielle Smith, Mayor Jyoti Gondek, Alan Norris, Kevin Lee, and others who challenged us to think bigger and act faster.
The biggest takeaways?
Cut the red tape.
Build smarter.
Work together.
And never lose sight of who we’re building for.
Thank you to @bildcr for bringing us together for these important conversations.

Trash bags: full. 🗑️ Vibes: immaculate. ✨
On Friday afternoon, our B&A crew hit the pathway and river bank along Memorial Drive in Kensington for the @calgaryparks Pathway & ...River Cleanup — and we weren’t messing around.
We tackled everything from stray wrappers to rogue socks (yes, really), doing our part to help keep Calgary’s green spaces clean, walkable, and beautiful for all.
Same teamwork we bring to city-building — just with more garbage bags.

With experience across the region, she’s worked on a wide range of projects from rural subdivisions to large-scale urban communities. Her strength lies in balancing creativity with a clear, policy-driven approach to planning and design.
Amelia brings a thoughtful, collaborative mindset to every project, along with a genuine passion for placemaking and community health. We’re excited to have her perspective and energy shaping the future with us at B&A.

👋 Meet Leigh Linsey — a new team member at B&A!
A thoughtful and endlessly creative planner, Leigh brings care, curiosity, and collaboration to every project.
With a Master... of Planning, a sharp design sensibility, and a passion for placemaking, tactical urbanism, and visual storytelling, he’s already making waves in the planning world.
From leading The Yellow Cube two-part zine series while he was at @ucalgarysapl, to exploring Southern Alberta by foot and bike; Leigh’s work is shaped by hands-on experience and a deep love for cities.

For us, Earth Day isn’t just one day—it’s built into how we work. 🌎
Our offices in Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver are located downtown so it’s easier for our team to walk, ...bike, or take transit. It’s a small part, but it helps us make more sustainable choices every day.
Through our Sustainability and Environment services, we work closely with clients to bring nature into the everyday—through greener neighbourhoods, protected spaces, and more thoughtful design.
We’re always learning and always improving—for our communities and the planet.
