City crews and contractors are using non-potable water (not safe for drinking) to protect golf course greens, allowing them to stay open for Calgarians to enjoy. The use of non-potable water does not impact water supply for Calgarians.
On June 17, 2019, an official Notice of Motion was brought forward by Council to “Direct Administration, as part of its Golf Course Sustainability Strategy, to proceed to close the Richmond Green Golf Course after the end of the 2019 golf season”. Richmond Green is now permanently closed.
