Part of an ongoing community investment fund that will invest $252 million from 2012 to 2016, the second round of The City of Calgary's 2012 Capital Conservation Grants saw over $1.6 million allocated to 46 community associations and social recreation organizations to support more than 80 projects around the city.

The City of Calgary Development & Building Approvals in partnership with the Calgary Fire Department are conducting a suite safety pilot on 50 of the city's existing suites.

The objectives of the pilot include seeing if the 50 suites have relevant permits, have the correct land use designation and are up to Alberta Fire and Building Code standards. The City will then assist property owners through City processes to bring their suites up to compliance if possible.
