Your City Hall votes just went through
Alright, Calgary, let's talk about what's been moving through City Hall, 'cause sometimes it feels like they're drilling for oil up there and we're just waiting for the rig to come in. This week, we're looking at some planning commission action that passed through on March 12th, 2026. The Calgary Planning Commission gave the green light to two major reports, CPC2026-0209 and CPC2026-0143, with multiple 'yes' votes from commissioners like Nathan Hawryluk, Thom Mahler, Charles Boechler, Katherine Wagner, and Chris Hardwicke.
This means these development proposals are now moving forward, with the commission recommending Council give them three readings. For real though, this stuff matters because it shapes what gets built in our city, from new apartment buildings in Bridgeland to industrial parks out by the airport.
* **Report CPC2026-0209**: Received unanimous "Yes" votes from multiple commissioners. * **Report CPC2026-0143**: Also sailed through with full support from the Planning Commission.
What we're seeing here, according to the official vote records from the Calgary Planning Commission, is the consistent approval of new development. This aligns with the 27 commercial and new construction permits issued in Calgary just this week, as tracked by the Civic Intelligence Monitor. It looks like the city's trying to keep the boom times rolling, at least on paper. We'll be watching to see how these projects actually manifest on the ground, and if they reflect what Calgarians really need.
This is Calgary — we've seen the boom, we've seen the bust, and we showed up anyway.
