Guidebook and NHCLAP revised documents were released on calgary.ca on January 4th, 2021. Please check: http://www.calgary.ca/northhill AND http://www.calgary.ca/guidebook to see the revised plans.

After considerable deliberation, the CHCA has taken the position to NOT support the NHCLAP unless the following issues are addressed: community character; density; heritage; urban forest/public space, and a mobility plan. For more detail, please refer to the letter submitted (PDF Download below) to the Standing Policy Committee on Planning and Urban Development (PUD). Our objections to the Guidebook are associated with our concerns around the NHCLAP.

The Neighbourhood Block Connector is a program that encourages and empowers residents to come together in a more meaningful way.

Crescent Heights Community Association (CHCA) is connecting the neighbourhood! The community of Crescent Heights have engaged, supportive and invested residents who are looking to build a more inclusive and vibrant neighbourhood.

The Neighbourhood Block Connector is inspired by Abundant Communities Edmonton (ACE) where each neighbourhood in Edmonton, ‘cultivates a culture of care and connection, increase the sense of belonging and inclusion’. CHCA is inspired, and we’re going to adapt the program to our village, as a flagship inner community we can’t wait to see what happens next!

What does a Neighbourhood Block Connector do?

A neighbourhood block connector is whatever you, the resident want to make it! We’re here to help! Are you an Artist looking to create a community project? Do you have an interest in community safety, and you know that watching out for your neighbours is invaluable? Perhaps, you’re a long time (or new) CH resident and looking to find any excuse to connect your neighbourhood? We’re here to help you connect and have meaningful opportunities with your community. If you have a great idea for ways to connect with your neighbour(s) or just simply looking for a reason to say ‘Hello’ to a new one, the block connector is a great way to start!
