Have your say: Help shape Ramsay's future
The City of Calgary has kicked off Phase 1 for the South Bow Communities Local Area Plan. A Local Area Plan (LAP) is a long-term blueprint that guides how our community grows and changes: where new housing and shops could go, how tall buildings can be, and what improvements we want for parks, pathways, and getting around. In short, the decisions made here will shape Ramsay for the next generation. This is our chance to get on the record early, while the plan is still taking s

Help Write the Next Chapter for the Alberta Corner Store
For more than a century, the Alberta Corner Store has stood at the corner of 19 Avenue SE. It's one of Calgary's oldest corner stores, and for generations of Ramsay residents, far more than a place to grab milk and the paper. It's been a landmark, a meeting spot, and a quiet anchor of the neighbourhood since 1902. Now it's entering a new chapter. The building's new owners have taken over, and before they decide what comes next, they want to hear from Ramsay. Have your say The

Community Fridge Initiative – Share Your Thoughts
Exploring a Community Fridge for Ward 9 From Ashley Mananquil, Registered Social Worker Food insecurity is on the rise in Calgary, and it's closely tied to mental health, family wellbeing, and community connection. I'm exploring whether a community fridge could work in Ward 9 — Inglewood, Ramsay, and Bridgeland-Riverside. The concept is simple: a neighbourhood-stocked fridge where anyone can take what they need or leave what they can. No forms, no stigma — just neighbours loo
