                                                  Calgary River Valley Engagement

                                                  The City of Calgary (The City) is planning for the future of our river valleys, including our flood hazard areas, through the Calgary River Valleys Project. From January 29 to March 3, The City is talking to Calgarians about the future of our floodplain policies and regulations. Calgarians can provide feedback through an online survey, or by attending an in-person drop-in event or a virtual information session. Your input on how we make decisions on the use, conservation and development of our river valleys and communities is important. Visit Calgary.ca/RiverValleys to join in the conversation.
