  Calgary Points of Pride

  The city of Phoenix has identified 33 attractions and landmarks and deemed them, "Points of Pride". Historical landmarks, marketplaces, hills, points of interest. We should do the same, promote them in a one stop website with maps, pictures, videos, etc. You involve the community by giving them a place to put up their pictures and video. Get people to submit nominations and have the people vote for them. I would put ...more »

  The city of Phoenix has identified 33 attractions and landmarks and deemed them, "Points of Pride". Historical landmarks, marketplaces, hills, points of interest. We should do the same, promote them in a one stop website with maps, pictures, videos, etc. You involve the community by giving them a place to put up their pictures and video. Get people to submit nominations and have the people vote for them.

  I would put things such as: Glenbow Museum, Inglewood district, Fort Calgary, Heritage Park, Calgary Zoo, Nose Hill Park, (once it's finished) Science Center, Olympic Plaza, Prince's Island, Kensington, Bowness Park, Stephen Avenue, and whatever historical landmarks we haven't torn down yet.

  Make the idea with community input, give them a voice, give them a chance to speak passionately about what they think is something to be proud of in Calgary. If a place falls out of interest, by neglect or poor management, feel free to update the list as the years go by, and don't spent a lot of money, put up a plaque in front of them, that's it, put the rest of the info online.

  Connect the people of downtown with the vibrancy of uptown

  

  Proposed over the years in City Council was the idea of having a "bridge" between the core and the Beltline. If I were to think in terms of building a civic legacy and had dollars at my disposal, I'd create a terraced park space over a block of the CP rail lines. For discussion sake, let's say between 4th and 5th Street, tying downtown culture with the walkable 11th Ave design district, 17th Ave nightlife, and 4th Street ...more »

For discussion sake, let's say between 4th and 5th Street, tying downtown culture with the walkable 11th Ave design district, 17th Ave nightlife, and 4th Street restaurants and boutiques. A midtown destination site would cut the psychological barrier between the two sections of the core and create a central meeting place between the two culturally thriving sections of the city.

  Summer on the greened park podium could be home to outdoor festivals, buskers, performers, musicians, or an open air market.

  To create winter interest, a mix of permanent, spectacular, contemporary sculpture and temporary participatory installations exploring the winterized urban environment.

  Local Music Showcase

  As a fan of music festivals I would like to see all Calgary musicians come together and perform in different venues divided by genres for one week. Similar to Sled Island but showcasing local talent. One venue may feature folk, another may host local DJ's, rock etc. Ideally this would be held over the summer hosted in many of our scenic parks/amphitheaters across the city. This will thrust the spotlight on the locally ...more »

  This will thrust the spotlight on the locally grown talent in Calgary to an international audience.
