Calgarians will now have the ability to keep better track of their journey along some of the City's pathways in the instance they should need to call for emergency assistance.

Public Safety Communications has announced the launch of a pilot program which places pathway markers along Centre City/Bow River, the Elbow River pathways and in Fish Creek Park.

There were 1,936 residential units sold in Calgary in July representing a 21.3 per cent increase over 2011, a testament to the fact the city continues to buck national housing sale trends.

"Recent mortgage rule changes prompted much discussion of a national housing correction," said Ann-Marie Lurie, CREB® economist.

When it comes to spending weekends in the great outdoors, Canadians often head to one of two places – the lake or the golf course. With warm summer days often in short supply, both locales can be in high demand.

But what if that locale wasn't so far away? What if they were in your own backyard?

The city's 22nd annual Historic Calgary Week is here. Along with the Calgary Stampede, the Calgary Public Library system, City of Calgary Recreation and several other Calgary attractions celebrating their centennials, century homes are being recognized.

For 2012, there are 508 homes participating in the week-long celebration. Most of these homes were built around 1912 when Calgary's first housing boom hit its peak.

Outlining the path of development for land annexed in 2007, the City of Calgary has approved a development plan for a massive section of land on the city's northern outskirts.

Sitting on 1,080 hectares bordered by 160 Ave N, Stoney Trail, 14 St NW and the expanding Calgary airport, the Keystone Hills Area Structure Plan calls for a mixed use development that will eventually be home to as many as 60,000 people and employ as many as 18,000.
