The City of Calgary and van der Zalm & Associates have put together a report demonstrating how they chose the 10 sites for the skateparks being developed in 2014-15. Unfortunately two of the sites are not going forward as of now but that still leaves eight more new parks over the next two years!

We just got word that Millennium Park is once again accessible 24 hours a day. Those cool, late night sessions can be the most fun!
CASE supporter Dan R sent us this comic from the Calgary Sun, circa 1993. It’s still against the law to ride a skateboard in downtown Calgary but the fine has not changed.
CASE pal, James Barry has pitched a short film in the STORYHIVE competition.
He’s hoping to win a grant of $10,000 to document his friends Adrian and Martinus Pool, two skateboarding brothers who make really cool stuff out of old skateboards.

Notice of Annual General Meeting

Community Room
Eau Claire Market
200 Barclay Parade SW
Every year CASE invites all of our members, as well as everyone else in the Calgary skateboarding community and those who support skateboarding, to our Annual General Meeting (AGM). Our AGM is an opportunity for CASE to share what we have accomplished, what we are working on, and what we have planned. It will also be a chance for us to answer your questions, and hear your ideas and suggestions about what we can do for skateboarding in Calgary in the coming year. More information about the meeting is available at www.calgaryskateboarding.com/agm
The City will be constructing the first 3 of the first 8 skateparks this summer, and a City representative will be at the meeting to give an update into the Skatepark Strategy, and answer questions about it.
With the growing number of skateparks in Calgary, CASE needs more people to get involved in a variety of roles so we can do more for Calgary skateboarders. If you may be interested in working with CASE in some way, come to the meeting and find out how you can help. Whatever time and effort you can give, a little or a lot, it will help push skateboarding forward in Calgary
If you have questions, comments, or need more information before the meeting please reply to this email or contact CASE through our website at Calgaryskateboarding.com.
See YOU May 22nd!
