Last winter, 33 friends and neighbours of Crescent Heights created the Wilder! community mural – together but in distance. Now, we can finally meet in person and celebrate! Bring your family and friends, listen to some live music, and learn more about Alberta’s nature through stories and games. Our guest speaker, Blackfoot Elder Sheldon First Rider, will be sharing some of his fascinating stories. A live band, Brother Ray Lemelin & the Matinee Kings will also be performing. Come experience Alberta’s uniqueness through the Wilder! community mural!
About the project:
The Wilder Mural was created in December of 2020, in collaboration with 33 friends and neighbors of Crescent Heights. Every participant received a tile with outlines, some info about their animal or plant, and paint so they could participate in a COVID-safe fashion from home. The community mural showcases Alberta’s wildlife and highlights endangered species. The mural shows a total of 15 endangered creatures and plants, and one mountain goat, grasshopper, ladybug, an unknown bird, dog, man with big hands and lots of prairie grass.
On Wednesday, July 21 the Committee for Transportation and Transit will be hearing a presentation from City administration regarding the current closure of Crescent Road and initial ideas for next steps in creating a long term vision for Crescent Road and the adjacent park space. It should be noted that no decisions will be made at the meeting on Wednesday.
According to the City clerk’s office, the public is invited to speak/present at this meeting. Also, there is the opportunity for residents to send letters (whether in support of or opposition to) to the Council members on the committee prior to the meeting. This could help them gain further insight into resident views. Community input is always an essential part of the City planning process.
The following City Council members are listed as participants on the Standing Policy Committee on Transportation and Transit:
The meeting starts at 1 p.m. Here is the link https://pub-calgary.escribemeetings.com/FileStream.ashx?DocumentId=173046 OR https://www.calgary.ca/ca/city-clerks/legislative-services/agenda-minutes.html)

Whether you’re performing the macarena, break dancing with your crew, or showcasing your next “TikTok” routine, this is open to all abilities, ages, styles, and cultural backgrounds. We want to see it all!
