Calgary River Access Strategy – Approved by City Council

GOOD NEWS!

Calgary City Council approved the motion “Calgary River Access Strategy” on June 14, 2016. The motion was proposed by Councillors Keating and Carra. The motion directs City Administration ( Water Resources, Fire, Recreation and Parks Department) to address the short and long-term river access issues for recreation and commercial use. City Administration is to report back to City Council with a report no later than Q1 2017. A copy of the motion is attached.

Calgary River Access Strategy – Motion to City Council June 13 / 14, 2016

Bow River Trout writes: 

"Calgary River Users' Alliance (CRUA) has been working with City Councillors and administration to find a resolution to Calgary’s boat ramp closures.

We are fortunate to have City Councillors prepared to address our concerns by taking a Motion to Motion to City Council next week. 

The following link to my website will give support for the motion. In the “Report” section you will find supplemental documentation presented to CITY COUNCIL."
