This spring, the City of Calgary is shutting down the Bearspaw South Feeder Main for reinforcement work. During this time it will be critical for residents and businesses to use less water since the Glenmore Water Treatment Plant will supply most of the city and region and will be operating at maximum capacity.
No outdoor water use will be permitted at this time. This means our outdoor rinks will continue to remain shut down for the remainder of the season. The City of Calgary is also urging Calgarians to take steps to reduce their indoor water use.
Top three ways to help save water indoors:
We’re asking residents of Douglasdale, Douglas Glen and Quarry Park to focus on taking the following three actions that we know make the biggest difference to household water consumption.
Only flush when needed
Skipping three flushes per day saves about 30 liters.
Take 3-minute showers
Every one minute you save in the shower saves up to 8 liters of water.
Run full loads of laundry only
Only run the washing machine and dishwasher with full loads.
The DouglasQuarry Community Association has been advised by Veterans Elite Drone Training Services that drone training and filming will be taking place TODAY from 1:30-3:00 p.m. at 108 Quarry park Road, SE, next to the Remington YMCA Facility.
This drone training and filming has been permitted by the City of Calgary.
Please note that noise and traffic may be disrupted during this time.
ROAD CLOSURE UPDATE: The City of Calgary has advised that water main repairs are now complete on Douglas Glen Boulevard. Calgary Transit is now operating in the area again, and traffic disruptions have come to an end.
🚩 Douglas Glen Blvd Road is CLOSED in both directions.
The City of Calgary is investigating a water main break at Douglas Glen Blvd & Douglas Glen Bay. There is no word on how long the repair will take.
🚧 There is no through traffic. Please enter Douglas Glen from 18th Street if you need access to the West side of Douglas Glen.
UPDATE: The vote on March 4, 2026 was overwhelmingly in support of the Douglas Glen shed project. Thank you to the residents who came out to participate in the vote! Stay tuned for updates as this project commences.
The existing shed at the Douglas Glen skating rink shed has reached the end of its serviceable life and requires replacement. A new shed has been designed with upgraded specifications, including increased size, enhanced electrical capacity, improved construction features, and site enhancements, in order to better support the organization’s operational needs.
Project Status:
Two quotes have been obtained for the shed replacement project.
An application for funding through the Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP) has been submitted, with a funding decision expected between mid-June and mid-July.
The selected vendor will be authorized to apply for the necessary development permit. Construction is anticipated to commence following permit approval, with project completion targeted for approximately September, contingent on permitting and construction timelines.
Special Meeting Requirement: In accordance with the organization’s bylaws, a Special Meeting must be called to order to allow residents to vote on approval of the Douglas Glen hockey rink shed replacement project, with a maximum expenditure of $100,000. A minimum number of residents must be present to meet quorum requirements in order for the vote to proceed. Residents are strongly encouraged to attend if able, as sufficient participation is required for project approval.
Please note: In accordance with our community bylaws, all votes must be cast by residents who are active DQCA members. Please visit DQCA.CA to purchase your community membership.
Meeting Location: First Alliance Church Calgary (12345 40 St SE, Calgary, AB T2Z 4E6)
Sometimes your carts may be full but you still have extra materials to get rid of. Where possible, hold onto extra garbage, recyclables or yard waste until your next collection day, when you can fit them into the appropriate cart
Overfilled carts can pose safety risks by spilling their contents, so please keep the following rules in mind to make the most of your carts:
Lid Closure: Carts must have lids closed to prevent trash from spilling while being emptied by automated trucks.
No Loose Items: Do not place bags or items on top or beside the cart; they will not be collected.
Weight Limits: Carts have a 60 kg weight limit. If you can roll the cart, it should be ok.
For handling excess waste, take extra recycling to a community recycling depot or visit one of the Calgary Eco Centres. For more information, please visit calgary.ca/extrawaste
