## Resource

Calgary’s tackling a flood risk on the Bow River with a bold twist: building a permanent urban surf spot. A growing gravel bar under the Louise Bridge is choking river flow and raising flood danger—but city planners see a chance to fix it while creating waves for surfers, boosting fish habitats, and injecting $1.8 million annually into the local economy. Backed by a 2024 feasibility study and inspired by spots in Bend and Munich, this project could finally deliver the consistent surf locals have dreamed of for years—with design wrapping up by fall and construction possibly starting in spring 2028, all for a $12 million price tag.
