City of Calgary approved citywide rezoning in May 2025 as part of Justin Trudeau's housing strategy.

Rezoning allowed semi-detached, rowhouses and townhouses to be built on lots zoned for single-family homes.

Many Calgarians are concerned the change in housing types will impact traffic flow, parking, and demand on city services.

And while many still oppose the city and federal housing plans, advocates, like Walcott , hope they will be able to see past the visual makeup of a community. “The hardest part is asking people to imagine the opportunity, what makes our communities great isn’t the structures that are in them, it’s the people.”.
