The 100-year vision for Calgary that was developed through imagineCALGARY is:
Vision
For thousands of years,
people have met at the confluence of two vital rivers to
imagine and realize their futures. Together, we have built
a city of energy, born of a powerful convergence of people,
ideas, and place. Together, we continue to imagine Calgary,
making a community where:
We are each connected to one
another. Our diverse skills and heritage interweave
to create a resilient communal fabric, while our
collective spirit generates opportunity, prosperity
and choice for all.
We are each connected to our
places. We treasure and protect our natural environment.
Magnificent mountain vistas and boundless prairie
skies inspire each of us to build spaces worthy of
our surroundings.
We are each connected to our
communities. Whether social, cultural or physical,
these communities are mixed, safe and just. They
welcome meaningful participation from everyone, and
people move freely between them.
We are each connected beyond
our boundaries. We understand our impact upon and
responsibility to others. Our talent and caring,
combined with a truly Canadian sense of citizenship,
make positive change across Alberta, throughout Canada
and around the world.
We can make it happen! With purpose, drive and passion,
Calgary will be a model city, one that looks after the
needs of today’s citizens and those to come. We
make imagination real; it’s the Calgary way. It’s
what we’ve always done and will always do.
Calgary: a great place to make a living,
a great
place to make a life. |
