Engagement Process

Engagement Process

The East Calgary International Avenue Communities Local Area Plan was developed over a two-year period with thousands of participants. From Winter 2022 – Spring 2024, conversations about where, why and how revitalization and redevelopment should happen took place with a range of participants. Thousands of individuals were involved in the creation of the Plan from youth to seniors, residents and business owners, community association and development industry representatives and a dedicated and diverse working group that provided in-depth insights and feedback throughout.

Throughout the project:

  • Over 54,000 people were made aware of the project through our communications program.
  • Over 1,600 people participated online or in-person.
  • Over 2,200 ideas and contributions were collected across all phases.
  • 84 events and meetings were held (with the general public and targeted interested parties such as: youth, business owners, landowners, community association members and business improvement area representatives, etc.)
  • 100 days of multi-week, multi-input online engagement opportunities.

The Plan followed the below phased approach:
