Your Planning Commission just pushed something big through City Hall.

Hold onto your hats, Calgary, a storm's brewing.

### Get Ready for a Wild One

Right off the top, we've got some active weather alerts rolling in for Calgary this morning. Details are still coming together from the monitoring services, but the advisories are out there. You know what that means for us here: one minute it's a chinook making you think spring's sprung over in Kensington, the next you're buried under a foot of the white stuff. Keep an eye on those forecasts, folks, especially if you're planning any trips out towards the mountains or even just a stroll along the Bow River pathway. This is Calgary — we've seen the boom, we've seen the bust, and we showed up anyway.

### Planning Commission Pushing Projects

For real though, let's talk about what's been happening over at City Hall. The Calgary Planning Commission was busy on March 12, 2026, pushing through some significant recommendations. We saw multiple motions carried, with Commissioners Nathan Hawryluk, Thom Mahler, Charles Boechler, Katherine Wagner, and Chris Hardwicke all voting 'Yes' on Report CPC2026-0209 and Report CPC2026-0143. These votes recommend that City Council give three readings to the proposals. While the specifics of those reports aren't fully detailed in the data, it's clear the Commission is clearing the way for new developments or zoning changes. These kinds of moves often signal shifts in how our city is growing, whether it's new housing in the 'burbs or commercial expansions that'll change up your commute on 17th Ave.

Here’s the breakdown from the Calgary Planning Commission records:

* **Report CPC2026-0209:** Motion carried with votes from Nathan Hawryluk and Thom Mahler. * **Report CPC2026-0143:** Motion carried with votes from Charles Boechler, Katherine Wagner, and Chris Hardwicke. * Each motion recommends Council gives three readings to the respective reports.

This is a big step for whatever projects are tied to these reports. It means they're moving closer to becoming a reality and will soon be hitting Council's desk for final approval. We'll be keeping a close watch on these as they move forward.
