Cultural landscapes are historically significant landscapes. Similar to other historic resources, cultural landscapes connect us with our past; help to tell the story of how our cities developed and how our society evolved. Cultural landscapes are vital to contemporary society; they contribute to great communities by enhancing character, identity and a sense of place. The City of Calgary Parks developed the Cultural Landscape Strategic plan to establish a set of policies and strategies to identify, protect, manage, and celebrate the rich, unique collection of historic resources found within Calgary’s open space system.
