Munro Park Updates

February 25, 2024 / Ward 09

Munro Park, located at 425 18 Ave NE was initially developed in 1948. The park is located in Ward 4, however due to its close proximity to Renfrew in Ward 9, we wanted to share the following information with the community.

While the park is currently well-used, there is potential to further enliven the lives of local residents, enhance local business activities, and improve connectivity in the area. The City of Calgary has implemented some improvements in Munro Park, but there is a larger vision to add playful amenities and connect different park spaces into a cohesive design, considering operational needs from the early stages. The design development phases of this project will inspire contributions on the possibilities before recommending creative, fun, and inclusive investments for all seasons.

Home is Here: The City of Calgary's Housing Strategy - Rezoning for Housing

January 24, 2024 / Ward 09

Calgary is in a housing crisis. We need more homes. The citywide rezoning proposed in Home is Here: The City of Calgary’s Housing Strategy will help.

How will rezoning help?

This change will help increase the supply of housing to better meet demand by reducing the costs and timelines for permit approvals. This means more housing is able to be built faster. It also allows for greater housing variety, options, and price points to suit more Calgarians needs.

If you’re renting or buying, rezoning increases the number and types of homes available in all communities, making homes more affordable. If you own property, you’ll have more options to meet your future needs.

COUNCIL VOTES TO APPROVE CALGARY'S UPDATED HOUSING STRATEGY

September 21, 2023 / Ward 09

After three hard and emotional days, City Council voted 12-3 to pass the Housing Strategy in its entirety. The actions outlined in this strategy make up a comprehensive and critically needed framework to address housing affordability, ensuring more Calgarians have a safe place to call home.

Over 1,322 pages of written submissions were sent in, 162 members of the public came out to speak, and our office received hundreds of emails. Overwhelmingly, the stories of those desperate to find or keep a roof over their head are the ones that dominated the conversation.

You can read the full Housing Strategy report and all 66 of the recommendations HERE.

Have your say on The City of Calgary’s Housing Strategy

August 28, 2023 / Ward 09

Calgary is experiencing a housing crisis.

Our city has grown significantly over the past several years and, at this moment, one in five Calgary households are unable to afford where they currently live. This equates to more than 80,000 households who are spending more than 30% of their income on housing. As we anticipate welcoming another 110,000 new residents over the next four years, the scale of the challenge we face is significant.
