On July 28th we honoured Calgary's heritage community at the CHA Lion Awards at the historic Knox United Church. In attendance were over 300 people including Her Honour the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta the Honourable Lois Mitchell, the Hon. Ricardo Miranda Minister of Culture & Tourism and Mayor Naheed Nenshi.
The CHA honoured the following individuals, organizations and projects.
The Calgary Heritage Authority (CHA) is very pleased to announce a re-invigorated plaque program to help recognize heritage in Calgary communities.
Since 1992, the CHA and previous City heritage organizations have been placing plaques to recognize important heritage sites and allow Calgarians to learn about our heritage resources.
This new plaque program is extended to all Calgarians regardless of whether their property is legally protected, on the inventory, or a member of the Century Homes program.
We will be offering two types of plaques; an information plaque which will allow you to have a picture and text on the plaque (figure 1), or a street address plaque (figure 2).
The cost of a plaque is $375.00. Installation hardware is included, and the plaques are easily installed with simple tools.
