Overview
A strong healthy city requires a strong healthy core. Increased density and livability will result in more people living and working in our Centre City, which in turn increases safety and quality of life, thereby attracting more people and increasing vibrancy.
The Centre City Safety Impact team is a working committee consisting of Calgary Police Service, Calgary Fire Department, Alberta Health Services, Animal & Bylaw Services, Calgary Transit Safety & Security, Calgary Parking Authority, Alberta Gaming & Liquor Commission, Livery Transport & Business Licensing, Corporate Security and Land Use Planning & Policy's Centre City Implementation. Together, these groups strategically address safety issues in our Centre City to create a livable, thriving and caring community.
