Today we are pleased to announce the launch of the Beltline Neighbourhoods Association.

We are a vibrant new community association for the Beltline district in urban Calgary encompassing the neighbourhoods of West Connaught, Connaught Centre, Victoria Centre and East Victoria.

What is the Beltline Neighbourhoods Association?

The Beltline Neighbourhoods Association is a vibrant new community association for the Beltline district in urban Calgary encompassing the neighbourhoods of West Connaught, Connaught Centre, Victoria Centre and East Victoria.

We are proud to be a recognized member of the Federation of Calgary Communities  along with over 200 other community associations and non-profit organizations in Calgary and are officially registered with the Alberta Government.

The Beltline Neighbourhoods Association is a grassroots organization founded by engaged residents with a history of service in their communities who wanted to build an accessible and diverse association open to all residents to get involved in making the Beltline an even better place.

The objectives of the Beltline Neighbourhoods Association are to:

• Promote and foster community spirit and strong relationship building among the residents of the Beltline.

• Establish and support the recreational, cultural, social, athletic and educational activities of the residents of the Beltline. 

• Serve and promote the interests of the Beltline.

• Provide local residents with the tools and resources they need to make our community strong and thriving.

Why do we need the Beltline Neighbourhoods Association?

We believe that the Beltline has the best neighbourhoods in Calgary and want to empower its residents and businesses to make them even better. By engaging the residents and businesses that call Beltline their home, we can harness the talents and energy of this incredibly diverse community to build a strong cultural, economic and social foundation. 

It’s a critical time for the Beltline residents and businesses to play a role in shaping the future of the Beltline district in Calgary:

• The new Green Line LRT will be passing through the neighbourhoods of East Victoria and Victoria Centre with a station planned just south of the Calgary Tower.

• Stampede Park and Victoria Park will be seeing accelerated development under the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation with a new master plan for the area.

• 17th Avenue SW will be undergoing a revitalization to improve the street environment of the landmark avenue.

• New business districts are developing along the west end of 10th, 11th and 12th avenues in the Beltline.

The Beltline needs an organization to advocate on behalf of its residents and businesses on these projects and many others to ensure the best outcomes for our neighbourhoods.
