City of Calgary Home and Small Business Webinars
Register today for an upcoming home and small business webinar where City experts share insights on a variety of planning and development topics. Live and recorded webinars cover everything you need to know about home renovation requirements, small business best practices, and more.
For home renovation DIYers, we walk you through topics like building permit types and how to apply, safety code requirements, land use bylaws, and tips on how to hire a contractor and prepare for inspections.
Whether you’re a small business owner or thinking about starting one, join us as we share best practices for both commercial and home-based businesses and show you how to apply for a business licence and register your business.
