Glenmore Reservoir Erosion Hotspots
About the project
This project falls within the larger Bank Protection and Stream Health Restoration program. In 2021-2022, The City completed a review of the Glenmore Reservoir to identify locations where erosion is posing a risk to existing infrastructure. The project aims to mitigate erosion risks to infrastructure while enhancing the surrounding public spaces.
The locations at risk at risk are:
- Calgary Canoe Club
- Calgary Rowing Club
- Slope of the Rockyview General Hospital
- Glenmore Sailing School
- South shoreline, north of the community of Bayview adjacent to Parks’ pathway. This erosion consists of 11 locations within an 800m stretch of shoreline.
Why are we doing this work
- To address and correct erosion at the Glenmore Reservoir where existing infrastructure is at risk. This project is essential to protect vital infrastructure from erosion to enhance our public spaces.
- To develop a design that will protect weathered areas from future erosion while enhancing public spaces. This is also a placemaking project that will create enhanced seating for visitors and provide additional spaces for people to gather.
- To build a resilient and enhanced Glenmore Reservoir area that benefits the entire community.
- This project is part of our larger commitment to protecting and improving our natural and built environments.
