URGENT – Your help needed NOW to improve skateboarding in Calgary
All aspects of Skateboarding in Calgary are restricted by City policies and bylaws that unfairly and unreasonably restrict skateboarding as a healthy, environmentally friendly, fun activity. On Monday June 21st, Go Skateboarding Day, Alderman Joe Connelly is presenting a notice of motion to council seeking their support for two initiatives:
- The development of a City of Calgary Skateboarding strategy – a process that should see more skateparks and skate friendly laws and policies
- The amendment of the land use bylaw to allow backyard skate ramps under certain conditions just like any other structure
Calgary Skateboarding Needs Your Help NOW!
If this motion is to have a chance to succeed The Calgary Skate Community must let every alderman and the Mayor know how much they support it. Show your support in two ways:
- Write an email to council – see directions below
- Forward this email to EVERYONE you know who skates, is a fan of skateboarding, or who is a supporter of a skateboarder so they can join the email campaign
