The Inglewood Aquatic Centre has been identified as one of 13 City-operated recreation facilities that require major electrical repairs. While there is no safety risk for customers or staff accessing the facility, there is a risk the electrical system could unexpectedly fail. In consideration of Council’s prior decision to permanently close the facility and to reduce the risk of sudden impacts to customers and swim clubs, Inglewood Aquatic Centre will close on December 22, 2024.

Caitlind Brown & Monica Ila are two Ramsay-based artists who have been working on an immersive mural for the underpass beneath the train line on 11th-12th Street SE. This underpass is an important pedestrian corridor and the primary connector between Ramsay, Inglewood, and the Bow River.
Together with the Ramsay Community Association, they’ve coordinated with both the City of Calgary and CPKC (formerly CP Rail) to animate the underpass with a bright and colourful mural. The mural design will be inspired by hyper-local histories, stories, and myths from the neighbourhood.
Earlier this spring, neighbours in Manchester came together to build a new community garden space for residents to learn about and grow food, herbs, and flowers together.
Community gardens help enhance the health and well-being of neighbourhoods and communities by providing the space and opportunity for people of all skill levels to learn and interact. They are a place where people can connect with nature, better understand where their food comes from, and provide opportunities for sharing and learning.
