Valerie Konechny’s volunteering journey began in the fall of 2011.

Calling all kids! The City of Calgary has opened 10 new inclusive playgrounds in various neighborhoods across the city. Now, families with children who are blind, wheelchair bound or facing developmental delay will be able to watch their child play and explore playgrounds without limits.

What makes a great community? Of course, there are tangible elements such as housing, mixed-use spaces, great roads, walkability, low crime rates and more. But it’s the intangible elements that tie a community together – like great neighbours!

Vancouver-based Macdonald Development Corp. is known for its thoughtful community designs, often imbued with a west coast feel.

It's a vibe that resonates with residents – connecting neighbours and instilling a strong sense of community. Watermark at Bearspaw, the developer's latest master-planned community, is no exception.

The 290-acre community is located in Rocky View County at the edge of Calgary's city limits, touching the northwest neighbourhood of Tuscany.
