 City of Calgary preserving Olympic Arch

The City of Calgary is taking measure to preserve the Eau Claire Olympic Arch and will feature prominently in a redesign of Eau Claire Plaza. The existing features of Eau Claire Plaza are being removed, including the Arch, so the ground level can be raised to a height that would protect against flooding. The Olympic Arch will be safely preserved, placed in storage until it’s reinstalled close to its original location. The City of Calgary will also restore and reintegrate the Eau Claire Lumber building into the in the new plaza design.
