We were thrilled to be the headline sponsor of yesterday’s @ulialberta’s The City Building Program event. With the fall season marking a time for transition and change, it was the perfect opportunity to highlight some major changes coming to Calgary. As Calgary’s population nears 2 million, the City is advancing its City Building Program, which will introduce a new vision for urban planning and design. We heard from experts from the @cityofcalgary on three critical documents shaping Calgary’s future: the Calgary Plan, the new Zoning Bylaw, and the Street Manual. With a focus creating an improved public realm and understanding specific impacts to the Real Estate Sector, it was a valuable discussion on how these tools will affect our industries and everyone who calls Calgary home. 🏙️ Huge thank you to Erin Felker, Joe Olson, Stephen Pearce, and John Lewis for sharing their insights, expertise and updates on the program. Exciting times ahead for city building in Calgary! #ULIAlberta #CityBuilding #CalgaryPlan #UrbanDesign #RealEstate #YYC Lightbox link for post with description We were thrilled to be the headline sponsor of...

It’s Field Trip Week with @bildedmontonmetro! This week’s field trip takes us on the Valley Line LRT for a fun-filled afternoon of exploring the city. From Downtown to Mill Woods, the Valley Line Southeast will open new opportunities for mobility and development. Hop on the line, as we explore and discuss the impact of the Valley Line on city building in Edmonton. You’ll hear from a number of city-builders including our very own Brian Murray at the Bonnie Doon stop! #YEG #Edmonton #CityBuilding #UrbanDevelopment #UrbanPlanning #UrbanDesign #TransitOrientedDevelopment Lightbox link for post with description It’s Field Trip Week with @bildedmontonmetro!...

We were excited to support and sponsor the @cityofchestermere’s Charity Golf Tournament @lakesidegcalberta yesterday. It was a spectacular day on the course where we helped the @cityofchestermere raise over $100,000 to support the @chestermerelibrary and the @municipalityofjasper, plus the contributions to Jasper are being generously matched by Alberta Municipalities! We are very much looking forward to being a part of more events like these in the future as part of our ongoing support and our ongoing work for the @cityofchestermere through comprehensive growth planning and development planning as the city continues to grow! #CityOfChestermere #CharityGolfTournament #Jasper #YYC #PlannersAtPlay #UrbanPlanning #UrbanDesign Lightbox link for post with description We were excited to support and sponsor the...

Successful trip out to beautiful #Vancouver. Brian Murray & Nathan Petherick met up with Adam Mattinson at our Vancouver office for a productive trip out west as we look to continually expand our presence and work in the Metro Vancouver region and beyond. We had the chance to connect in-person with some of our partners and clients in the area. We explored the city, took in some gorgeous parks and public spaces, and even came across a heritage restoration project underway! And we capped off the trip by participating in the @udibc Fraser Valley Golf Tournament at the stunning @northviewgolfandcountryclub (did you know it was designed by Arnold Palmer?). We’re always thrilled to attend and support these events as they provide so much value to our industry and it’s a fantastic way to connect with new people! #YVR #UDI #UrbanPlanning #PlannersAtPlay #UrbanDesign Lightbox link for post with description Successful trip out to beautiful #Vancouver. ...
