From the meeting
At its November 3, 2026 meeting, the Executive Committee forwarded a notice of motion to begin direct discussions with the Province of Alberta about a joint funding commitment for the Flourish Centre. The motion says the proposed recreation facility in Alpine Park is about 427,000 square feet and includes a fieldhouse, six gymnasiums, two ice rinks, a theatre, community meeting space, and an 11,000 square foot Calgary Public Library space. The Flourish Foundation said it was seeking $80 million from The City, $80 million from the Province, $50 million from Canada, and $40 million from the community, and that Ellis Don provided a $250 million Class 3 estimate.
Decision state: forwarded for Council consideration.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will City of Calgary issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Calgary's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with City of Calgary before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
Where can I find more grants government opportunities in AB?
Civic IQ monitors board meetings, agendas, budgets, and capital plans from 100,000+ state and local agencies and surfaces grants pre-RFPs in AB as soon as they appear — months before they reach bid portals.
