As we advanced the first year of our 2025–2029 Strategic Plan, our team—now more than 40 passionate city-builders and placemakers strong—continued to deliver on major civic infrastructure projects, support vibrant neighbourhood growth and apply our expertise to new opportunities across Calgary. With momentum building across East Village and The C+E, and in our evolving efforts in transit-oriented community development, 2025 marked another transformative chapter for CMLC and for the city we serve.
