👏 Heritage Park’s free Culturally Speaking Presentation Series continues with The Influence of Calgary’s Sandstone Schools on the City’s Growth on March 11, 2026.In response to fire safety, Calgary built nineteen sandstone schools prior to the First World War. While unique to our city, the neighbourhoods that grew around them helped shape Calgary as we know it today.
Join architect and heritage conservationist Darrel G. Babuk, M. Arch., Retired Architect AAA and President of Boreas Studios Incorporated, as he explores how this distinctly Calgarian building type influenced the city’s urban growth.
