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.

This Sunday, October 11, 2026 we are gathering people & Food Bank Donations for our Next Food Bank Booster Concert at The Sportsplex
We’re excited to welcome JUNO-nominated Bluesman JW Jones back to Calgary House Concerts for a return visit.

A major voice on the Canadian blues scene, JW has spent more than two decades touring internationally, sharing stages with legends and building a reputation as one of Canada’s most respected modern blues guitarists. His performances combine precision guitar work, soulful vocals, and a natural connection with audiences that make every show feel personal.

After the fantastic energy of last year’s concert, we’re thrilled to welcome JW back for another intimate afternoon of world-class blues. In the close listening-room atmosphere of Calgary House Concerts, his musicianship and storytelling come through beautifully; exactly the way live blues is meant to be experienced.

This special Food Bank Booster Concert supports the Brentwood Food Library & Veterans Association Food Bank, continuing our tradition of bringing music, neighbors, and community spirit together for a good cause. Not just a concert — a warm, must-attend afternoon of connection, generosity and world-class live music and restock the Brentwood Food Library little bit at a time.
