Notice of Motion: Providing Council direction on the City Building Program.

March 3 Notice of Motion

At the March 3 Council Executive Committee meeting, a Notice of Motion: EC2026-0228 was brought forward to present an updated version of the Calgary Plan based on 2025 engagement and other policy changes (such as the dissolution of the Calgary Metropolitan Regional Board) for discussion with Council at the June 16, 2026 Strategic Council Meeting.

Should Council move forward with providing new direction, based on the Notice of Motion, at the March 31 Council Meeting, there will be updates to our process and timeline. We will update the website as more information becomes available. Thank you.


What is the City Building Program?


Calgary is growing and changing quickly. The City Building Program is about setting up Calgary for the future of how we use land, build, and move around our city.

The three initiatives as part of the program:

  • Calgary Plan (merges, streamlines and updates the current Municipal Development Plan and Calgary Transportation Plan into one document) is the highest-level planning document guiding future land use and growth.
  • Zoning Bylaw (currently the Land Use Bylaw) regulates how and where buildings are developed.
  • Street Manual (currently the Complete Streets Policy & Guide) guides how streets are designed to support safe travel options.
