TIM WILLIAMS CANADIAN BLUES & ROOTS ARTIST – A producer/performer on four JUNO-nominated projects. Tim Williams is a favourite local icon. His 36-year career and constant work in the Calgary music industry is inspirational for so many. We are very excited to be able to share an afternoon with a local celebrity who has been such a key builder of the music scene in Calgary and a huge part of developing live spaces that we enjoy today. https://timwilliamsblues.ca/
PAUL PIGAT Dave Donovan of Calgary House Concerts says that Paul Pigat is arguably the best guitar player in town – and competitive in the national and international scenes as well. While he has a degree in classical music and music theory, he has devoted himself to a different vibe. With his various ensembles, including Cousin Harley and the Smoking Jackets, he has carved out a very respectable career creating great music drawing from just about every genre of popular music – jazz, blues, rockabilly and more. Blessed with a jazz man’s sheen, a rockabilly heart and a hobo’s soul, there aren’t many genres of music that don’t pull at Pigat’s wayfaring imagination like a magnet. https//paulpigat.com/.
Community Cleanup events save residents a trip to the landfill for items that do not fit in their waste carts or residents who do not have access to cart service. We supply three packer trucks with crews, funds for advertising and promotion, face coverings, sanitizer, gloves, and garbage bags for the group of community volunteers. This service is free of charge to all Calgarians. All Community Cleanup events occur on Saturdays and Sundays throughout Calgary. Spring season will begin on the last weekend on April 27/28 and go through to June 29/30.
The Fall Session will start on September 7/8, and end on September 28/29. Some Community Cleanup Events will be available over the summer with limited availability. Please check each Community’s website for more information regarding their specific event.

ERIN ROSS has been playing a confident mix of roots music for many years from her home base in Calgary. In February 2024 she released her first full-length album. The Wind Will Lead Me Home is an assured, nine song collection that shows Ross’ command of the bedrock strains of roots, including blues, folk, rock and roll and jazz.

KIMBERLEY MACGREGOR is a reformed bank manager. In 2013, she realized she was doing a successful job living someone else’s life – and a poor job living her own. That year, she launched her original songs into the world and took centre stage.
She has since released three full-length albums, and was awarded Female Artist of the Year at both the 2015 and 2016 Edmonton Music Awards. In 2022, she relocated to Vancouver Island. Kimberley lovingly crafts and passionately performs songs that will move your heart, change your mind and stomp your feet. Weaving seamlessly between blues, folk and rock, her common threads are strength, vulnerability and badassery, always sizzling with soul.

Situated on 24 acres of land north of 16 Avenue NE and east of Moncton Road NE, Midfield Heights has undergone a remarkable transformation from its origins since time immemorial as traditional Treaty 7 territory to an airport runway to a manufactured home park, and soon, into a serene new urban enclave in the inner city.
Today, we’re excited to share updates on development site sales and what to expect during the 2024 construction season. 1948 1975 2024
Development site sales Midfield Heights is comprised of seven (7) multi-family development sites ranging from 0.78 to 4.2 acres, fully serviced to accommodate a total of between 1000 and 1500 new homes, depending on each purchaser’s specific development proposal. Development site purchase opportunities will be open to experienced multi-family builders from June 4 to July 9, 2024, through calgary.ca/midfieldheights.
Construction update The 2024 construction season – our final one – is well underway, building upon the momentum from previous years.
Past construction seasons have witnessed removal of old deteriorated utilities, slope repair, environmental remediation, and installation of new utilities, laying a sustainable and resilient foundation for the future. To minimize disruption to our golf course tenants in the valley below, construction of a stormwater pond on golf course land has largely taken place over the winter and is now nearing completion. This pond filters stormwater from Midfield Heights and the greater Winston Heights-Mountview area before it reaches Nose Creek, serving as a significant environmental asset.
By fall 2024, we anticipate completing roadways, sidewalks, street lighting, and landscaping, including two park areas and extensive pathways.
Beyond the 2024 construction season, we eagerly anticipate seeing buildings rise. Construction photo gallery

Tree removal Tree removal along the project’s boundaries took place the week of May 13. We acknowledge the importance of these trees; the decision to remove them was not made lightly and is being done to maximize the fullest potential of the redevelopment site. We assure you that for every tree removed, a significantly greater number will be planted within our landscaped boulevards and public park areas, enhancing green spaces for generations to come. 16 AV elm trees NOT being removed Poplar trees along Moncton RD among those slated for removal Tree removal public notice
