In 2008, City Council approved Sport Calgary’s 10 Year Strategic Plan for Sport Facility Development and Enhancement, which guides new facility development, enhances existing facilities and improves facility access. To improve facility access to sport and recreation facilities, Sport Calgary in collaboration with Recreation, is undertaking a Facility Allocation Review (FAR). FAR will review current allocation and permitting policies at city owned and/or operated facilities. The information compiled will support the development of a new permitting allocation model, refining facility type and use, and confirming prioritization guidelines for bookings. Q & A
