Last night’s 2025 Calgary Barn Burner was one for the books!
We kicked off Stampede season in true western style—enjoying lively entertainment, connecting with Canadian Armed Forces ...service members, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the @ncsm_hmcs_calgary, and supporting two incredible local charities: the @calgaryfirefighters Burn Treatment Society and the @vetsfoodbankyyc Association.
A huge thanks to @gccarra, @ward9grams and everyone who made this community celebration so memorable—great food, great music, and even better company.

Today on National Indigenous Peoples Day, we take time to honour the cultures, traditions, and knowledge of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.
It’s a day to recognize their ...history, resilience, and the deep contributions Indigenous communities continue to make across the country.
At B&A, we mark this day by reaffirming our commitment to truth and reconciliation—and by showing up with respect, openness, and a willingness to listen, learn, and understand.
This weekend, we are honoured to support and attend the Chief Kahkewistahaw Pow Wow Celebration, taking place June 20–22 on Kahkewistahaw First Nation.
As a proud sponsor, we’re grateful for the opportunity to join in celebration, connection, and cultural exchange.
This powerful gathering reflects the strength and spirit of Kahkewistahaw First Nation peoples, and we’re privileged to continue our work alongside them—just one part of our ongoing collaboration with First Nations and Indigenous communities across Canada.
Supporting and attending events like this is a meaningful step in our journey. It deepens our understanding, strengthens our relationships, and keeps us grounded in the shared path forward.
Thank you to Kahkewistahaw First Nation for welcoming us into this celebration, and for your continued trust and partnership.

Our Urban Design team joined @ulialberta’s Young Leaders Group, Astra Group, and Peoplefirst Developments for a behind-the-scenes look at the PetroFina redevelopment—an ambitious ...office-to-residential conversion in Calgary’s Downtown West End.
This adaptive reuse project is transforming a heritage office building into 103 new homes, blending preservation with much-needed housing supply. It’s a smart, timely response to Calgary’s downtown revitalization strategy—turning underused space into community-building opportunity.
Thanks to ULI Alberta and project partners for the exclusive tour and thoughtful conversations about urban transformation.
