Unfortunately, this event was cancelled on September 13 by the City in response to rising COVID-19 numbers in Calgary and throughout Alberta. While I understand the City’s reasons for cancelling the event, I regret that this project, the result of much effort and collaboration by numerous people and organizations, did not receive a special day. With that in mind, I thought I would share some information about the most recent $125 per box – limited quantities additions to Flyover Park, namely the murals that now Order By: 1:00 pm onEssential October 18 numbers adorn three of the concrete pillars and the abutment Pick Up: October 21 from 4:00 to 7:00 pm at Bridgeland supporting the road that carries thousands of people Community Associationfor Hall seniors in Calgary into downtown Calgary each day.
