Since the Supervised Consumption Site opened at the Sheldon Chumir Health Centre in early 2018 we've been closely engaged with Alberta Health Services, the City of Calgary, Calgary Police Service, residents and businesses in the area.

Our January 2020 update on the Supervised Consumption Site (SCS) at the Sheldon Chumir Health Centre shows the latest Calgary Police Service statistics indicated publicly generated calls for service around the SCS are mostly below trends for the Centre City. Meanwhile, the latest Alberta Health Service (AHS) statistics show a continued decrease in the rate of opioid related deaths in Calgary.

Our favourite winter event is just a few months away: the Beltline Bonspiel. The temperatures dropping have us thinking one thing: ice-making!! That's right, we're going to be needing ice-making volunteers very soon to make the curling rink for the Beltline Bonspiel.

We've been closely engaged with Alberta Health Services, the City of Calgary, Calgary Police Service, local residents and businesses. Here is our September 2019 update on the Supervised Consumption Site (SCS) at the Sheldon Chumir Health Centre.

Hasty budget cuts have led the City of Calgary to announce the closure of the Beltline and Inglewood Aquatic & Fitness Centres at the end of this year

As part of the $60 million budget cuts announced this summer, the City of Calgary is planning to close the Beltline Aquatic & Fitness Centre and the Inglewood Aquatic Centre, both staple recreation assets in the Beltline and Inglewood communities. 

Of the $1.5 million being cut from City of Calgary Recreation, $800,000 is proposed to come from closing the Beltline and Inglewood centres. However, it makes no sense for the City to expect Beltline and Inglewood to shoulder more than half the entire City's cuts to Recreation. 

Make sure you check out the Central Memorial Park events calendar. There is something for everyone in August! 

The Beltline Neighbourhoods Association (BNA) is seeking a motivated, self-driven individual with strong organizational skills and a community and arts focus for our Community Coordinator position. The successful candidate will work out of our office in the beautiful, historic McHugh House on Centre Street and 17 Ave South.

City Council is looking to cut $60 million in services to existing communities

This past June, Calgary City Council voted unanimously to cut $60 million from the city’s operating budget to help cover the non-residential business tax shortfall due to the declining property assessments in Calgary’s downtown core. With office vacancy rates over 20%, the buildings in the downtown core have dropped in value roughly $14 billion, opening up a $250 million hole in the city’s revenues in the wake of the subsidies Council approved for 14 new communities last summer.
