Impact

Created a clear roadmap for sustainable school growth and future expansion, aligning arts education with long-term community development.

Larkspur completed a 10-year capital plan to support Calgary Arts Academy in consolidating its school facilities within Calgary’s Beltline. The work included evaluating multiple potential site and building options, undertaking detailed test-fits to assess functional suitability, and developing comprehensive capital and operating budgets to understand long-term sustainability. The plan also examined enrollment sequencing, community programming opportunities, partnerships, and revenue streams to ensure the school could expand its impact while maintaining its unique arts-integrated learning model.

This roadmap now serves as a decision-making foundation for future development, enabling the Academy to move forward with clarity, strategic alignment, and a financially grounded path toward a unified campus.

Larkspur Projects is located in Calgary, on the ancestral and traditional territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy — the Niitsitapi peoples, including the Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, and Amskapi Piikani. We also acknowledge the shared lands of the Tsuut’ina (Dene) and the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney) Nations — Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Goodstoney. This is also the homeland of the Otipemisiwak Métis Government, including Métis Nation Battle River Territory, Districts 5 and 6.
 

The place we now call Calgary has long been known as Moh’kins’tsis by the Blackfoot, Guts’ists’i by the Tsuut’ina, and Wîchîspa by the Îyârhe Nakoda. We recognize, honour, and give thanks to the original caretakers of this land, and commit ourselves to building respectful relationships with the peoples whose histories, languages, and cultures continue to shape this place.
