The City of Calgary provides a vast array of services to the citizens of Calgary, including parks, recreational facilities, roads, buses, drinking water, sewers, fire prevention, police protection, social programs, and by-laws. It is central to The City’s mission to have high-quality parkland and recreational facilities available for Calgarians. Although the weir is owned and operated by the provincial government, The City is encouraging the redesign of the structure to foster positive recreational and educational use of the river and the parkland and natural areas which surround the weir. The City is contributing staff expertise and financial support to the project. For more information about The City of Calgary, please visit calgary.ca

Parks Foundation Calgary strives to make real the dreams of individuals, organizations and communities that wish to create parks and parks-related projects within Calgary. When you and your children play in a playground, or walk along a picturesque river pathway, or fly-fish in the Bow or Elbow River, or visit any number of environmental interpretive sites around town, Parks Foundation Calgary probably helped make it possible. So the significance and centrality of the weir site was immediately obvious and the Foundation’s mandate demanded that we take a principal role in advancing this project. To this date, we have been instrumental in facilitating dialogue and collaboration between partners and stakeholders, and we continue to coordinate the project’s overall administration.
