Awards CLOSE

CMLC is leading by example and has already garnered four awards from its peers for its sustainable and innovative practices.

EVE Award

EVE Magazine was awarded the Gold Medal in the category of "General Publication" at the 2009 Economic Development Association of Canada’s Marketing Awards held in Vancouver, B.C. on Sept 21, 2009. The Marketing Awards recognize leadership and excellence in marketing cities across Canada.

2008 Forbis Award for Outstanding Contributions in Public Archaeology

The 2008 Forbis Award for Outstanding Contributions in Public Archaeology awarded CMLC for our work in documenting and rejuvenating historic buildings and for our support of several archaeological investigations within East Village. CMLC is dedicated to ensuring that Calgary landmarks such as the King Edward Hotel, St. Louis Hotel, Simmons Building and Hillier Block are not forgotten. We also recognize the historical importance of East Village, the value of sharing this information with Calgarians, and the opportunity to incorporate important pieces of our city’s cultural history into the revitalization of the Rivers District. The Archaeological Society of Alberta - Calgary Centre, presented CMLC with this prestigious award on April 15th, 2009. Named after one of the founding members of the Archaeological Society who is widely recognized as the father of archaeology in Alberta, the Forbis Award is presented to an individual or organization in Calgary and southern Alberta that displays exceptional service to public archaeology.

Calgary Heritage Lions Award

CMLC was recognized for our exterior and interior restoration of the Simmons Building, which also happens to be our head office. We are very proud to have been chosen as the 2008 recipient of the Calgary Heritage Lions Award. It reflects our commitment to historic rejuvenation initiatives as well as providing a unique and dynamic characteristic to the Simmons Building's future streetscape presence on Confluence Way.

Canadian Urban Institute Brownie Award

CMLC was honoured as the 2008 recipient of the Canadian Urban Institute Brownie Award. The Canadian Urban Institute's annual Brownie Award recognizes leadership, innovation and environmental sustainability in brownfields redevelopment across Canada. CMLC won in the category of "Financing, Risk Management and Partnership" for our work in the creation of the Rivers District Community Revitalization Levy Regulation. A "made in Alberta" version of the U.S. Tax Increment Financing (TIF)— which is a widely used financing mechanism for redevelopment of brownfield sites in the United States—provides a sustainable source of funding to finance the significant infrastructure development required in the Rivers District for a 20-year period.
