Over the course of the last several years, many of Calgary’s Business Improvement Associations have worked closely with different project teams to advance implementation of unique, engaging, and character defining components of The City’s Main Street program. July’s luncheon will be held as a panel discussion with representatives from three different Business Improvement Associations (BIAs) to share their perspectives on how transportation professionals can best engage with them to solicit meaningful input over the course of the project’s design and implementation.
This is a great opportunity to understand how to strengthen your skill set and approach in interacting with community and business improvement associations as part of your projects, and to hear a different perspective on the City of Calgary’s Main Streets program.
Date: July 9, 2024
Time: 11:30am-1:00pm
Location: Stantec 325 25 St SE #200, Calgary, AB T2A 7H8 and online
