Your City Hall votes just went through
Alright, Calgary, let's talk about what's cookin' down at City Hall, 'cause sometimes it feels like they're drilling for oil with a spoon down there. For real though, we got some important votes from the Calgary Planning Commission on March 12, 2026, that you should know about.
### What Got The Green Light
According to the official Calgary Planning Commission records, a whole bunch of "yes" votes went through on March 12, 2026, regarding two key reports: CPC2026-0209 and CPC2026-0143. Commissioners Nathan Hawryluk, Thom Mahler, Charles Boechler, Katherine Wagner, and Chris Hardwicke all voted to recommend Council give three readings to these motions. This means these development-related items are moving forward, likely paving the way for more construction in the city.
Now, while the specific details of *what* exactly got approved in those reports aren't laid out in the data, the fact that these motions carried unanimously through the Planning Commission means they're considered ready for the next stage. This is how the gears turn on those new buildings you see going up, whether it's another condo tower or a new commercial space. Our real-time monitor also shows only two new commercial/new construction permits were issued in Calgary this week, which is a pretty low number compared to what we typically see when the market's really buzzing.
This is Calgary — we've seen the boom, we've seen the bust, and we showed up anyway. Keep an eye on the full Council agenda for those three readings.
