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 shape.

Why it's worth 20 minutes

Public input genuinely helps shape the plan as it's written—it's one of the key inputs the City weighs alongside policy and professional expertise. The more Ramsay voices in the mix, the better our neighbourhood is represented when the big decisions get made.
