Noise Barrier Retrofit Program
The City of Calgary is committed to reducing the impact of transportation noise heard in residential areas through the Noise Barrier Program. Where residential areas next to an eligible roadway exceed The City’s noise level criteria, a barrier may be constructed. Several approved noise barrier locations across Calgary will be moving forward with construction in 2025, with completion expected by the end of 2026. You can check the status of the noise barrier construction in your community on our website. To learn more about the Noise Barrier Program, or to submit a request to have a noise measurement completed, visit calgary.ca/NoiseBarriers.
YYC Trees: Guided Walks

Join Calgary Parks for a free guided tree walk and learn some fun facts and unique characteristics about our city’s trees. You’ll find out how to identify trees in your community, learn what trees would make great additions to your own yard, hear interesting stories, and more.
We have a new program this year where we are offering four historic tree guided walks where you will have the opportunity to discover Calgary’s tree history and hear the stories behind some of our historic trees. These historic walks are marked on the site with *historic tree walk.
