If you're on Instagram, you will love this project submitted to us by residents in Lakeview! Little decorated "homes" are popping up along the fence on 66 Ave SW at 34 St. Walkers, joggers, dog owners, and flaneurs... this one's for you! bit.ly/2y4Cuwp #hopefromhome #yyc

We've been seeing a lot of heart warming tactical projects around the globe in response to the recent outbreak of Covid-19. Please share with us projects that you've come across here in #yyc or beyond! Show us how community-builders still doing their magic!

Happy Canada Day from our geeky urban family to yours. Our project opened without a hitch last week thanks to a very Canadian approach of pitching in and supporting each other to get us past the finish line. Come by this afternoon to enjoy an ice cream!🍦🇨🇦🍦

The bench moulds have arrived! We’re playing with palettes today and finalizing the very first order of our new bench system. Some echoes of the #pantone colour of the year pictured here. What’s your pick?

A little colour, anyone? We’re sure excited to see the rest of this art piece go up thanks to the very talented daniel j. kirk with @bpagestudio and the wonderful students at Western Canada High School. Take a look here or go see it for yourself!
