There is a new City of Calgary Parks Dept. project referred to as the Bend in the Bow. The project includes the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary and the Pearce Estate Park. The first phase of the two part renewal process includes Inglewood Bird Sanctuary and the adjacent Inglewood Wildlands area. The second phase is the Pearce Estates.
The City of Calgary has a Cultural Landscape Strategic Plan, a plan to manage the collection of Calgary cultural landscapes. The plan makes reference to the fact that the Pearce Estates no longer has any remnants of the house but that the 'landscape still retains Pearce's name and this site should be commemorated for the role he played in the development of Calgary'. The Pearce and Walker sites are the remaining agricultural homestead sites in Calgary's inner city.
Within the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary site, the Colonel Walker house is a designated heritage resource on a separate.98 hectare title. Both the house and its carriage house are designated. The agricultural homestead site once included greenhouse and a sawmill.
The City of Calgary has an online survey to gather input from the public on a Design Development Plan for phase one - Inglewood and Wildlands with the ultimate goal of creating a new regional park for Calgarians.
Please visit the online site survey at http://www.calgary.ca/bendinthebow before June 30th.

AWA is turning 50 and they are buying their home!
The Alberta Wilderness Association has been stewards of the Hillhurst Cottage School for almost 40 years and they have made a deal with the City of Calgary to purchase the building. This historic building and AWA’s offices are a centre for conservation awareness. This is an invitation to save the date June 25th, 2015 between 3pm and 8pm to come for a walk through the Hillhurst Cottage School, peruse AWA’s Roger Creasey Memorial Library, soak up the historic details and 1910 architecture of the cottage school, meet old friends and new and raise a cup of cheer for the achievements of AWA’s 50 years of endeavour and conservation in Alberta. What a wonderful tribute and legacy this purchase will mean for AWA and for the importance of saving historic properties as AWA takes time to reflect and celebrate 50 years as an Association. The Cottage School is at 455-12th St NW.
Donations are still being taken to assist with the purchase at https://gowildalberta.ca/shop/building- ... -donation/

open tee-pee structure, for entertainment or
for spontaneous performances as a focal
point. There is an open field play area, a
