Calgary Municipal Building

Not as welcoming of a building as Edmonton City Hall. There was a winter Asian market here and it was dark and draby, definitely not the ideal space for public gatherings.When I was here in the summer, some guy had set the interior on fire the week before, so it was closed to visit.I do like that they kept the Residential Schools makeshift memorial outside.

City of Calgary has turned into a terrible city. It's like the entire culture was wiped out by these elected officials over the past 15 years.Incredible how this city sold it's soul for....??? What?? I still don't know. We have lost all the city's heritage, it's atmosphere, it's energy, and it's Industry for......political gain....wow....great job council. What a joke..RIP Calgary. The officials might as well be foreign assets.....

I go to city hall monthly to buy my bus pass. The clerks are friendly and efficient. Please be kind to these people. Unfortunately, they get many customers who are rude and abusive. Despite that they are calm and kind.

Good location - just beside the Ctrain. You can pass through the building during working days - nice installations to see inside.Have a look at the monuments front of the building to understand more from the history and just to have the idea.

A total of 62 architects entered the competition, following the first stage four finalists were announced, R. L. Wilkin, Eugene N. Dub (who would go on to design Edmonton City Hall), Gerald J. Gongos, and Christopher Ballyn.[9] On December 4, 1981 Christopher Ballyn in partnership with WZMH Architects was chosen as the design winner, and a contract was awarded by Calgary City Council.[10][4]Ballyn's design called for the new Municipal Building to serve as a FOIL to Old City Hall, providing a neutral backdrop while also displaying a fresh and unique civic image. The mirrored facade facing Old City Hall at a 45° angle was chosen to reflect the historic building and the new public plaza, while minimizing the Municipal Building's apparent volume. The lower floors of the Municipal Building feature molded limestone clad walls to reflect the spirit and material of the neighbouring City Hall, while the upper floors provide a sleek, sophisticated and intricate curtain wall in contrast.[9]

Most Beautiful Buildings I see from inside out.It gives you a completely different feel due to its unique design. Once you reach in the lobby area design shocks you.Super clean and incredibly designed.Staff is super friendly and they help you in all possible ways. I met Janet for my Devolpment permit for my house. She is very helpful.Parking and going on construction is the only problem I face. Rest all is awesome.

A new display in the Calgary Municipal Building is bringing life to the history and future of Calgary’s C Train system. The display, located on the west side of Council Chambers, showcases historical artifacts, photos, and maps of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) system since its inception in 1981.Stop by for a visit and see how our Light Rail Transit system has grown and will continue to expand in the future.

They are very organized here; especially with their covid response and trying to get city services. Staff are all very helpful and know exactly what needs to be done. Security as soon as you walk in the front door, doing a good job!I am 95% sure I saw city counsellor Jeromy Farkas (please forgive my misspelling, if I did) and he went out of his regular way with directions to help out some citizens. Nothing overly fancy technically, but I rarely see councillors take time out of their schedules for simple small things to help the people. So that was fantastic.This place has alot of monuments to the city inside and out-- pre covid was a great place to hang out and learn a thing or two new about the city.Many different city services available here to renew or register for. Close to the new library and right beside east/west LRT.

Just love the sandstone look of these old buildings. Reminds me of a kinder and simpler time....

There hasn't been a real police officer in this city since 1984.15 security and police officers to deal with 1 protester. They can only demonstrate compliance and that is why we still don't have REAL police officers in this city. And yes I am the lower percentage of Calgary's population that have no use for them as I have been in this city for 50+ years and have watched the police force in this city collosily fall down. And never mind the city hall staff who discriminate the protester while hiding in the background. Only cowards are afraid of free speech and Calgary City Hall demonstrated this today with flying colors. Demasculinized and compliant staff. And we still have NO REAL police officers.I am expecting repricutions for this post as only Joytis' jigalos can do.
