2025 Pre-Roll Consultation Period
The City of Calgary invites commercial property owners to engage in the Pre-Roll Consultation Period to review their preliminary assessment values for 2025. From October 1 to November 15, this period offers non-residential and multi-residential property owners a chance to preview and provide feedback on their upcoming property assessments. By sharing information, ideas, and viewpoints, they can enhance the quality and accuracy of assessments before they are mailed out in January.
Volunteer opportunities
Join a fantastic group of volunteers who dedicate their time, skills, and passion to the various services and programs offered by the city. There’s a diverse selection of volunteer opportunities available for you to explore!
ChargeYYC multi-residential Pilot Program
The City of Calgary is introducing ChargeYYC, a new pilot program to assist residents of apartments, townhouses, rowhouses, and other multi-residential buildings in installing electric vehicle (EV) chargers. This initiative reflects the City’s commitment to advancing low-carbon mobility.
Beginning September 24, 2024, building owners and residents can apply for Phase 1 of the program, which offers financial incentives of up to $4,000 to create a plan for installing EV chargers. ChargeYYC seeks to streamline the installation process and lower costs, making it easier for more Calgarians to transition to electric vehicles.
Pickleball Courts at Foothills Athletic Park
The City of Calgary opened 12 brand-new dedicated pickleball courts at Foothills Athletic Park (2431 Crowchild Tr. N.W.) on September 23, 2024. This development follows the removal of the old Volleydome in 2023, uncovering previously non-functional tennis courts that were ripe for transformation. This summer, we converted these courts into some of Calgary’s first dedicated outdoor pickleball facilities.
These new courts are a great addition to Foothills Athletic Park. They are managed by our existing staff, which means there are no extra operating costs. Calgarians can now enjoy the courts on a first-come, first-served basis. Starting in 2025, we will integrate these courts into our Live and Play booking system, making reserving a spot and enjoying a game more accessible.
Calgary Winter City Design Competition
Each fall, the City invites designers, artists, and students to envision innovative winter city designs for our downtown. We encourage everyone to explore and challenge the limits of Calgary's public spaces during the winter season.
