Another open house on the design of the park next to historic Calgary Collegiate Institute (aka Central High, aka Carl Safran Centre, aka new CBE HQ) in the Beltline. See a couple of posts above (there was a previous open house in the winter see above ^). Incidentally, a Good Earth cafe has opened in the base of the new tower next to the old school, over on 8th Street.
