| Calgary's Flood Map Update: Balancing Safety & Property Rights | 15 Apr 2026 | 00:01:13 | |
Calgarys land-use rules under review: City mulls flood map changes, balancing safety and property rights Calgary is revising its land-use rules based on updated flood maps from 2025, aiming to limit development along riverfront areas like Bowness to align with new risk zones. The maps categorize floods into five areas, including a high-hazard flood fringe with deeper, faster water, and groundwater risks. Since the 2013 flood, the city has invested $1.3 billion in barriers, dams, and drainage, reducing overland flooding by 70%. However, homeowners along Bow Crescent argue that stricter regulations in riskier zones hinder their renovation, subdivision, or suite addition plans. Councilors like Kim Tyers and DJ Kelly advocate for more discussions to strike a balance between safety and property rights. Upstream projects like Springbank are operational, but the Bow Rivers Ghost Dam wont be completed until the mid-2030s, prompting calls for accelerated progress before council votes.
