We are pleased to welcome the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 1169 (CUPE 1169) which represents Calgary and Cochrane Library workers. They are excited to join in our shared work especially in the area of social isolation.  Librarians interact with a broad cross-section of our city daily.  Welcome!

The Environment Team is looking at the possibility of focusing on making the new major civic building project be net-zero buildings. The Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) is asking Calgarians for our input on the design of the new Events Centre to replace the Saddledome. This is our chance to ask for a net-zero, water-wise building and grounds that will host zero-waste events.

1. We are asking you to respond to the survey before March 27. To fill out the survey go to  https://www.calgarymlc.ca/ecengage and click on the red survey button. 
2. Note that the survey does not ask about sustainability. You will need to fill in your thoughts on net-zero using the “Other” and open-ended question options. Some ideas of what you can add include:

• “100% renewable power”
• “Carbon-Capture composite concrete and other reused or renewable materials”
• “return for deposit cups/zero-waste building”
• “greenest building in Canada”
• Zero waste events
• Net-zero building
