Opposition Statements
After careful review of the City's proposed policy, attending the City's public information session and dialogue with numerous Valley Ridge residents and Calgarians from other communities, the VRCRG has adopted a position of opposition against blanket rezoning.
Blanket Rezoning needs to be an election issue in 2025 so ALL Calgarians can have their say, not just 15 Councillors!
