Impact

The strategy resulted in unanimous approval from Canmore’s Town Council — unlocking new opportunities for local, attainable housing and strengthening long-term stability for families and school staff in the Bow Valley.

Larkspur developed and implemented a strategic approach to secure approval for a 120-unit housing development on school-owned land in Canmore. The project required a complex land transfer to a housing trust, removal of a Habendum clause restricting the land to “school purposes,” a revision to the Area Structure Plan, and successful navigation of Canmore’s rigorous development approval process. The work included extensive engagement with community members, municipal leadership, and multiple levels of government.

Calgary, AB, T2R 1J5

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.
