According to a recent City of Calgary memo, Millennium park’s hours of operation are changing temporarily. See below:
• The Planetarium, formerly occupied by the TELUS World of Science, is being used to accommodate Calgarians displaced by the recent flood whose building requires repair before being reoccupied.
• Shaw Millennium Park will be amending park hours of operation temporarily to provide these evacuees greater privacy and quiet.
• Shaw Millennium Park will change its hours as of July 15th, 2013, to operate from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.
• These hours are consistent with all other regional parks.
• To help communicate the new hours of operation signs in the park will be updated as well as information on calgary.ca.
• This is being done as a temporary measure for the balance of 2013.
• The impact to park users will be assessed and evaluated during this period.
• For more information on Shaw Millennium Park visit calgary.ca/parks.
