PROJECT OVERVIEW
The City of Calgary is working with Foothills County on a proposed annexation of lands along Calgary’s southwest boundary. Directed by City of Calgary Council in July 2025, City Administration initiated the annexation process and provided formal notice to Foothills County in September 2025.
PROJECT AREA
The proposed annexation area includes 428.32 acres (173.34 hectares) of land immediately north of the Sirocco Golf Course and bounded on the west by 64 ST SW, and by The City to the north and east. These lands are part of the long-term growth area for Calgary outlined in the 2017 Foothills County – City of Calgary Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP).
UNDERSTANDING ANNEXATION
Annexation is a provincially legislated process governed under the Municipal Government Act and overseen by the Land and Property Rights Tribunal (the Tribunal). It involves:
- Negotiations between municipalities
- Engagement with landowners and the public
- Review by the Land and Property Rights Tribunal
- Consideration and decision by the Province of Alberta
Further details about the annexation process can be found on the Land and Property Rights Tribunal website.
ANNEXATION TIMELINE (May 2026)
Annexation is a multi-step process that takes place over several phases.
ANNEXATION NEGOTIATION COMMITTEE
The Annexation Negotiation Committee is a jointly established forum for negotiations between The City of Calgary and Foothills County.
The Committee includes elected officials from both municipalities and is responsible for reviewing information, guiding discussions and overseeing the development of a negotiated annexation agreement. The Land and Property Rights Tribunal application documents the terms of the annexation that have been agreed upon by the two municipalities and, if necessary, any outstanding terms requiring decision by the Tribunal.
