JULY 16th
Community Heritage Roundtable and Inglewood Community Association are hosting a Town Hall Meeting dedicated to the Historic Calgary Brewery and Malting Company
In view of the recent demolition application for the site, we are arranging a panel of presenters and providing the community and public with an opportunity to:
• Celebrate the history of the brewery, founded in 1892 by "Big Four" rancher A.E. Cross, and its importance in the development of Calgary – a major industry, western Canada’s first salt water aquarium, Horsemen’s Hall of Fame Museum.
• Learn first hand about the brewery’s social importance to the working class roots of the community once known as Brewery Flats - a good employer for local families through good times and bad, the local gardens, recreation at the fish hatchery and trout ponds.
• Ask questions about the next steps which are planned for the site. The site is listed as Category A on Calgary’s Inventory of Evaluated Historic Resources. The Ministry of Alberta Culture and Community Spirit issued a Historic Resource Impact Assessment Order to evaluate the site to determine its significance and integrity and to provide recommendations.
• Share and discuss ideas regarding the public value of this site, and find out how to be part of the solution.
