In a year forever marked by the June 2013 flood event, the residents and developers of East Village showed a strength and generosity that isn’t apparent in everyday life. When the long-standing homes of East Village seniors – Murdoch Manor, King Tower and East Village Place – were compromised by rising waters, CMLC staff showed their true colours in their unscripted, far-beyond-the-call-of-duty participation in efforts to evacuate, comfort and return home some of the neighbourhood’s most vulnerable residents. The infrastructure of East Village proved resilient in 2013 because the flood plain has been raised up to six feet in some places since 2007. But it’s the resiliency and character of the people – residents, business owners, CMLC staff, the East Village Neighbourhood Association and many others – that we remember long after the waters receded. CMLC’s hybrid retail strategy, designed to attract both destination and niche retailers, drew the country’s largest real estate trust and the city’s most enterprising culinary entrepreneurs.

GOAT OF ARMS OF CALGARY The upper third of the shield shows the Rockies. The lower two-thirds bears the Red Gross of St. George, mounted by the Maple Leaf which again is inset by a Buffalo Bull. The supporters, a Horse and Steer, represent the wealth of Calgary. The Crest shows the Royal Crown (a sign of loyalty), and a Sunburst. Below are the Rose, the Thistle and the Shamrock, declaring the ancestry of Calgary which was founded in 1882, and in 1894 received her City Charter.
