News affecting our neighbourhoods

Calgary Co-op Redevelopment:

We are excited to share with you the news that Calgary Co-op is redeveloping its Oakridge location. This Development will incorporate mixed-use retail, residential and office spaces while creating sustainable green initiatives and modernizing our community's infrastructure.

We've scheduled the first phase of construction to begin in mid-March 2021 and developed in a staged-approach to minimize disruption to our members and community. During construction, the food store, gas station, carwash, liquor store, cannabis, Boston Pizza, A&W and other retail and medical services will remain open.  This phase will include upgrades to the road, parking lot, site servicing and also a new retail building.

We look forward to working with you on our redevelopment and continuing to being part of your community.

Kind regards,

Your Calgary Co-op Team

• Seniors 75 years of age and older will be able to book their vaccination by Wednesday, Feb. 24 at 8 a.m. The first appointment available will be 11 a.m. on the same day.
• Vaccinations can be booked by contacting Health Link. Albertans can dial 811 to contact Health Link, and should have their Alberta health care card or number available.
• Seniors can also book online at www.ahs.ca/covidvaccine.
• Appointment times are currently offered between 8:20 a.m. and 3:40 p.m., seven days a week. Patients will be directed to vaccination clinics closest to where they live, whether they book online or through Health Link.
• Plans are underway to extend these hours in mid-March.

Please know that wait times for booking will likely be higher than usual, and as such, Health Link will be increasing staffing to meet anticipated demand for the coming weeks.  However, patience will be required during the first couple of days of attempting to book due to anticipated high call volumes.

PBP Rink:

Skating at an outdoor rink is permitted. Physical distancing must be maintained at all times. Anyone playing hockey at an outdoor rink should observe physical distancing and abide by all public health measures. 

There can be more than 10 people at a rink if it is not a social gathering, for example, several unrelated strangers who have come to skate and not socialize and are able to stay 2 meters apart from those not in their household.

Please help us keep our rink open-we love seeing so many community members using our ice!
