Preserving and protecting that vision for Eau Claire—as a growing residential com- munity—is a key driver of your Board’s work. We were fortunate to have some very interesting presentations on current and future developments in the Eau Claire area. There are no current development applications in Eau Claire. Druh Farrell mentioned that applications in other com- munities are starting to pick up. The slow-down has put most of the projects in our neighbourhood on hold. Once again, we thank Druh Farrell—Ward 7 Councillor—for always making time for us. She and her office have been very supportive. Calgary City Centre – 2nd phase was originally supposed to be hotel and residence, but they reapplied to build only a second office tower. ECCA fought that because we are meant to be a residential area and this tower would encroach Druh began her short speech with a gift presentation for retiring ECCA on our boundaries. We lost that battle, but the office market has changed so radically in Calgary that we may have Board member Denise Man. She then thanked the ECCA for always provid- another opportunity to weigh in on the best use of this block. ing thoughtful, wise and balanced information on topics of concern to our neighbourhood. 501/601 Eau Claire Ave – a Development Permit for a mini-village with 7 distinctly different residential towers and park space was approved several years ago but the project was put on hold and we haven’t heard of any plans to The day after our AGM Druh presented a motion to City Council to nearly bring it back. double the snow and ice control budget for sidewalks.

She reminded us that the City had only a the May issue of the Current). day’s notice when liquor was privatized and had to run to catch up with the new situation.

Scott was able to use the map to explain exactly where the 1st phase of the project will be built, and he explained that the Green Line LRT You may have noticed in the last election that ward boundaries aren’t quite the same as community boundaries—a project requires two station heads, one on either side of the street sliver of Eau Claire is in Ward 8.
