Building Calgary
Shaping Calgary's Future Building Calgary
Maintaining and improving public infrastructure.
We’re investing in Calgary to help communities thrive. This means fixing roads and bridges, upgrading water systems, and improving recreation centres to support the services Calgarians rely on every day. New fire stations, libraries, parks and playgrounds are being built to meet community needs. We’re planning for the future, with new water treatment plants and more reliable water systems, expanding transit, and exploring better ways to provide affordable housing as our city grows.
Every dollar counts. We’re committed to using resources responsibly to finish projects on time and within budget. Investing in infrastructure helps improve neighbourhoods, supports the economy, brings in new businesses, and creates jobs. This helps make Calgary a great place to live now and in the future.
