Kids Reimagine School Streets Receives a National Award

Kids Reimagine School Streets is a 2024 National Urban Design Awards recipient this year! Through this program, students in three neighbourhoods worked with Ever Active Schools, Sustainable Calgary and SPECTACLE Bureau for Architecture and Urbanism to prototype walkable, safe and fun school streets. 

Celia Lee, Executive Director of Sustainable Calgary and Lucia Blanco, landscape designer of the Connaught Open Street prototype accepted the award on behalf of the project team in May.
