This morning Heritage Park officially opened the Famous 5 Centre for Women - housed in a replica of the Calgary home of Nellie McClung.

The Famous 5 are McClung, Irene Parlby, Louise McKinney, Henrietta Muir Edwards and Emily Murphy who petitioned and won the right for women to be considered "Persons" under the British North America Act in 1929. Calgarians may recognize them as the five bronze statues who call the southwest corner of Olympic Plaza home.

Celebrating recognition of heritage conservation, the Calgary Heritage Authority Lion Awards are introducing a new category this year.

In the wake of the flooding in June 2013 the awards, taking place July 31, are introducing a sub-category for flood recovery.

A year after the North West Mounted Police created a settlement at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow Rivers and named it Calgary in 1875, the Hudson's Bay Company set up shop and has been here ever since.

The history of the Hudson's Bay extends well before those first buildings were constructed in Calgary. In May of 1670, Prince Rupert, cousin of King Charles II granted the lands of the Hudson Bay watershed to a "Company of Adventurers" including Pierre-Esprit Radisson and Medard Chouart, Sieur des Groseilliers.

One of the most iconic buildings along Calgary's Stephen Avenue Walk is set to undergo a massive restoration.

The Bank of Montreal Building, located at 140 8th Ave. S.W. has been empty since the building's last tenant, A&B Sound, vacated the building more than a decade ago.

Once the I's are dotted and the T's are crossed, the Calgary community of Victoria Park will have a new green space for its residents.

"It's a for sure thing, we have funding in place," said Michelle Reid with City of Calgary Parks. "We are in the process of trying to get our development permit and we plan to start construction next summer."

The holiday season has come a little early at one of Calgary's most historic sites with Lougheed House's Christmas All Through the House Nov. 17-25.

For the fifth year, The Calgary Design Group — a group of 10 local designers who meet on a regular basis to talk the trade, its products and how they can best work with their clients — have collaborated with Lougheed House creating a variety of holiday themed design throughout the house.

Nestled beside Shaw Millennium Park along the new West LRT line, the Mewata Armoury and Drill Hall is a one-of-a-kind building in Calgary's inner city.

The word "Mewata" is said to be derived from the Cree word for 'O be joyful' or 'to be happy'. With construction beginning 1915 and a completion date of 1918, the structure was the brainchild of architect Thomas W. Fuller.

Calgary is not really known for its old architecture, but in some homes, it appears residents of old just won't leave.

While in the scheme of things Calgary is a fairly young city, it has no shortage of haunted sightings. At Heritage Park alone, nearly all of the buildings have been relocated to the park, and in a lot of them, their former residents have stayed on.
