Friday,
October 16 – Saturday, October 17th – Planning courses from the FCC
(Federation of Calgary Communities)
One
weekend. Three courses. A deeper understanding of Calgary
What
if you could deepen your understanding of Calgary’s growth, planning, and your
role in shaping its future, all in one weekend?
This October, Partners in Planning is bringing three core courses together at Sunalta Community Hub, creating a unique opportunity to explore Calgary from three connected perspectives: how our city grows, how it changes and how you can help shape what comes next.
Core
One: Friday, Oct. 16, 5:30 PM-8:30 PM
Calgary
is Growing: The City as a Living Place
Discover
how land use, transportation, infrastructure and public participation shape our
everyday experience of Calgary. Through case studies and discussion, explore
how decisions made in the past continue to influence our communities, and how
today’s choices will shape the city for future generations.
Core
Two: Saturday, Oct. 17, 9:30 AM-12:00 PM
Cities
Are Always in Flux: Planning as a Share Navigation Tool
Take
your learning into the community with a guided presentation and walking tour of
Sunalta and Scarboro. Explore buildings and neighbourhoods from different eras
while discovering how planning policies and implementation tools respond to
changing priorities, community values and city-building goals.
Core
Three: Saturday, Oct. 17, 1:00 PM-3:30 PM
From
Observer to Participant: Playing and Active Role in Community Change
Move
from understanding planning to participating in it. Learn how Council, City
staff and the public contribute to the planning process, where to find
information about projects in your neighbourhood and how to provide meaningful
feedback at the right time and in the right way.
