Calgary Safety Council's "Safety City" program teaches children about pedestrian safety.

The city-owned site will be vacated to help accommodate the City of Calgary’s Glenmore Water Treatment Plant expansion.

Safety City's footprint will be used by Water Services on a permanent basis going forward, not for temporary functions.

The organization appealed to the city to stay at the site while construction was underway.
