Housing affordability is a top concern for Calgarians and Albertans alike.
Our Urban Planning & Urban Design teams recently attended @ulialberta’s event on ‘Alberta’s Escalating Housing... Crisis’ @platformcalgary. We heard from a diverse panel of industry experts including Dr. Teresa Goldstein, Ann-Marie Lurie, Jolene Livingston, Trent Edwards, and Alkarim Devani as we explored how we can begin to address the lack of housing availability in Alberta.
We dove deep into affordability, long-term planning, and innovative design solutions — all aimed at creating a future where everyone has access to a safe and secure place to call home.

Last night, our Urban Design and Planning teams had a thought-provoking session @dtalks_calgary “Let’s Talk About Home” held @contemporarycalgary.
The event went beyond the ...traditional definition of “home as a shelter” and explored the concept through the lens of marginalized communities. These communities, including Indigenous peoples, people facing poverty, and racialized groups, are often left out of conversations about affordable and accessible housing.
By understanding their perspectives, we can gain valuable insights as we work towards more inclusive solutions to the growing housing crisis.

We had a sweeping good time at the UDI-Edmonton Metro Curling Invitational yesterday! 🥌
Huge thanks to UDI-Edmonton Metro for organizing such a great event, UDI’s Kalen Anderson for ...joining our team and to @bearsandpandas Juniors Skip @gracelynrichards for the expert coaching and guiding us to victory (okay, maybe not quite victory, but definitely some laughs)!
It was a fantastic fundraiser for @bearsandpandas to support future curling stars, and a great way to brush up on our industry connections!
