The first phase of engagement on the Crescent Road N.W. Master Plan Project is now complete. Now that the City has compiled the information and input received in the first phase of engagement, they would like to report back on those findings to the community.

Community members are invited to attend a virtual meeting on Tuesday, November 30 from 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. To register for the meeting, please visit Crescent Road N.W. Master Plan – Phase One Engagement Report Back. Join the Crescent Road N.W. Master Plan project team to hear highlights from what was heard in phase one engagement and what happens next.

The session agenda includes:

• Project Context – Why here? Why now?
• Phase One Engagement – What we did
• Phase One Engagement – What we’ve heard
• What happens next
• Time for questions or discussion

The complete What We Heard Report will be published on engage.calgary.ca/crescentroad at least one week prior to the Nov. 30 session. In addition to public feedback, the project team is reviewing data and traffic calming and public space best practices to inform proposed design options which will be shared in  Phase Two Engagement in 2022.  

Through many channels of communication, we intend to inform the community and key stakeholders when there are updates on the progress and opportunities for input on the plan.  You will see the promotion of this session along Crescent Road,   please share this message with your members and help us spread awareness about the project.

Artists from around the world promise “a lot of art in a little box” when they exhibit in Crescent Heights mini galleries in November and December.

Curated by the Immigrant Council for Arts Innovation (ICAI), the November/December exhibition will feature works by: Jimena Odetti, Lorianne Wigens, Samuel Obadero, and Cristiana Tercero. ICAI was founded in January 2019 to connect newcomer and immigrant artists and creative professionals to the existing arts community in Calgary. Click to learn more about the artists and their work!

Jimena Odetti began her career as a visual artist in her hometown of Buenos Aires, Argentina, with a Doctorate in Design from the University of Palermo in Argentina. She has contributed to publications and research on culture, science, and technology at the national and international level. Her artwork has been exhibited and displayed in Mexico, Argentina, Spain, Italy, Canada, and the United States.

Lorianne Wigen grew up in South Africa. She is a self-trained artist who enjoys experimenting with different mediums and techniques. Her art is an expression of what she loves the most about Africa: the sounds of the bushveld; the hyenas at dusk; the elephants approaching; a lion in the soft sand of a dried riverbed. She hopes her art will kindle a yearning in others to experience the majestic wonder that exists in the African bushveld.

Samuel Obadero is an award-winning digital photographer and social advocate from Nigeria. He received the Calgary Catholic Immigration Society’s New Canadian Artist Award in 2020 and was also named the Calgary Central Library’s first Newcomer Artist in Residence. His thought provoking-work celebrates global beauty, and cultural identity.

Cris(tiana) Tercero is a Calgary-based visual artist from Nicaragua, experimenting with illustrations and animation. She started her career as an advertising graphic designer, but her involvement in cultural programs and social activism redirected her work towards protest art around feminism, social rights, and equality.
