Communities for Glenmore Landing Preservation

Help us stop the RioCan proposal that threatens our parks. Please be sure to sign the petition and write emails. We can have density without the cost of parks.

The majority of Council is in favour with developers over residents, masking their initiatives as virtuous yet it's been proven that this strategy doesn't help residents especially those of lower socio-economic class. Who is paying who....

Allegedly, Gian-Carlo Carra has had a closed mind towards blanket rezoning leading up to the public hearing. He must be recused from the vote on Monday. #calgary #yyc #yycnow @cityofcalgary @CTVCalgary @CBCCalgary @GlobalCalgary @citynewscalgary

City of Calgary is making errors on panels for the public hearing on blanket rezoning. People are being given wrong panel numbers or not given panel numbers at all then called to speak. Sign up again to speak if you have not received a number!

WORTH A READ: "Blanket R-CG Zoning as proposed will disrupt surface and sub-surface hydrological processes, causing irreversible damage to Calgary’s natural infrastructure, including the urban forest. This is at the same time that the City acknowledges urgent challenges to build resiliency to drought, climate change and flood."

@FeatheredCape The city needs density, but not at the cost of our parkland. There's numerous sites that are better in location and many already are going through the application process. It's not necessary to degrade our parkland.

HURRY! WE NEED YOU TO SIGN! Our petition is closing soon and we need as many signatures as possible. Parkland is important and needs to be valued. We can't thank everyone enough for how hard they've worked towards protecting it. #glenmorelanding #calgaryparkland #stopthetowers

We had such a great turn out to our peaceful parkland protest! Thank you everyone who came out to support the cause. Even though it was cold, spirits were high! Save our Parks! #saveourparks #glenmorelanding #calgary #yyc #yycnow #calgaryalberta #glenmorereservoir #calgarynews

Pt1 Protect our parkland! It's a scarce asset and the city needs to keep all parkland that we have since we're already the lowest of the major Canadian cities for greenspace according to StatsCan. How are we suppose to alleviate our climate crisis if we develop on natural sites

Pt2 Migratory birds are particularly at-risk of danger, but all bird species fall victim to fatal window strikes. Please help us to stop the towers and protect our birdwatching of these incredible creatures. #glenmorelanding #calgaryparkland #stopthetowers #explorepage

[Communities for Glenmore Landing Preservation @CommunitiesofGL]

Pt1 Did you know Calgary is situated on an important migratory path for birds? The Glenmore Reservoir/Weaselhead Flats is a desirable stopping point for birds on their way down south, but having high-rise towers in their midst can cause numerous deadly issues.

Pt 2 SAVE OUR TREES. #glenmorelanding #calgaryparkland #stopthetowers #glenmorereservoir #calgaryreservoir #calgaryevents #calgaryparks #northglenmorepark #calgary #heritagepark #yycwalking #yycbiking #yyctrails #weaselhead #yycbiodiversity #yycwildlife #yycparks

Pt 1. SAVE OUR TREES. Trees are vital to our ecology and we have over 200 trees that need protection! The city CANNOT sell our parkland. Please share this post and get the word out there. Remember to sign the petition and write in letters to council. #yycbirdwatching #yycbirds

[Communities for Glenmore Landing Preservation @CommunitiesofGL]

We're meeting tomorrow to discuss speaking in-person or via phone-in at the IPC meeting Jan 10th. Everybody gets 5 mins to speak. We're hoping as many people as possible will sign-up, there's great strength in numbers. See you tomorrow!
