engage-106-76-logo1.png

This week marks the beginning of the extensive consultation process regarding 106 Street and 76 Avenue. Please consider participating in one or more of the workshops happening this week and next by becoming a Community Partner and then attending.

A Community Partner is anyone who wants to help on the Engage 106-76 project by expressing how they use the corridors, and helping to interpret the Project Vision.

Here is the schedule (each community consultation will deal with a different section/s of the street/avenue):

Queen Alexandra October 6 6pm to 8:30pm Queen Alexandra Community League 10425 University Avenue

McKernan October 7 6pm to 8:30pm McKernan Community League 11341 78 Avenue

Allendale October 8 6pm to 8:30pm Allendale Community League 6330 105a Street

Strathcona October 14 6pm to 8:30pm Rutherford Room, Varscona Hotel 8208 106 Street

Belgravia October 21 6pm to 8:30pm St Paul's United Church 11526 76 Avenue

Empire Park October 22 6pm to 8:30pm Empire Park Community League 4804 107 Street

The workshop goals are:

  • Provide an opportunity for Community Partners to share their experiences using 106 Street and 76 Avenue, or living along it.
  • Create a positive and productive environment for working together, so we can all go home feeling good and that we contributed something meaningful to the process.
  • City staff leave with a greater understanding of local context.
  • Community Partners leave with greater understanding of City constraints, possibilities, and trade-offs.
  • That ideas shared are working towards the Vision of walk, bike, live and uphold the four Engage106-76 Principles so that City staff can take ideas and use them to develop a Concept Plan for 106 Street and 76 Avenue.

Make sure to check out the Ideas Page before you participate. Hope to see you there!
