Inglewood Bird Sanctuary Reconnection Project

The Inglewood Bird Sanctuary is one of Calgary’s most important natural parks. The lagoon, which is enjoyed by fish, birds and parks goers alike – needs to be updated to ensure its health and longevity.

The project will see a reconnection of the lagoon to the Bow River, providing it with a continuous stream of water through improvements to the riverbank and surrounding area. This will improve the stability and quality of the water in the lagoon, benefiting the health of the birds, fish and other wildlife that visit the park. It will also create a fish passage to prevent fish from becoming trapped in the lagoon and add protection against future flood events.

The environmental importance of this work has been recognized through grants from the Alberta Environment, Environment Canada and Fisheries and Ocean (DFO).

With work expected to begin in early March, 2022, The City is hosting two virtual Open Houses to share information about the project on February 23rd and 24th. Register today to learn more about the plans for this area.
