Description:
The Calgary Weir is part of the Western Headworks system situated on the Bow River just 3 km east of downtown Calgary. The headworks system, including the headgate, sluiceway, weir, and fishway structures, were constructed in 1975 by PFRA, and are used to supply water to the Western Irrigation District.
The 152 m long ogee weir represents the only barrier to boaters and fish passage within the 100 km long reach of the Bow River between Bearspaw Dam and the Carseland‐Bow River Headworks. The weir also created an extreme drowning hazard that has claimed several lives over the years.
