Heritage

The Heritage Committee is dedicated to both the preservation and recognition of the history Cliff Bungalow-Mission. We aim to maintain the character of the community while advocating for our place in Calgary’s history.

​

We are actively involved in the preservation of the community by:

​

• Promoting the adaptive reuse of buildings

• Monitoring the city’s Municipal Inventory of Evaluated Historic Resources and ensuring that as many buildings as possible make the list.

• We are working closely with the Development Committee to develop architectural guidelines to supplement the Area Redevelopment Plans. These guidelines will facilitate the preservation of Cliff Bungalow-Mission’s historic architecture.

 

We promote the history of the community through a number of initiatives, including:

​

• The CBMCA Plaque Program recognizes significant historical structures. Contact the Heritage Committee to nominate a building.

• Historic Calgary Week Walking Tour – The Chinook Country Historical Society organizes a yearly walking tour in recognition of important people and places in Calgary’s history. Check the website for this year’s schedule.

• The Historic Street Sign Program commemorates the historic names of every street in the community.

 

To assist in our work, the committee makes use of various city-wide organizations and resources, including:

​

• The Calgary Heritage Initiative

• The Calgary Heritage Authority

• Heritage Roundtables

• Historical Society of Alberta

• The Chinook Historical Society
