Civic Affairs, such as community planning, traffic issues, safety and greening are just some of the concerns that are addressed by the Bridgeland Riverside Community Association. 

A Planning Committee Director is elected each year at the Annual General Meeting (April/May) and meets with a volunteer committee to hear and review development and traffic issues that impact the neighbourhood. Planning Meetings are generally held on the first Tuesday (7:00pm) of each month at the Bridgeland-Riverside Community Centre at 917 Centre Avenue N.E.  

The Community Safety Director also relies on community-based volunteer initiatives, such as Block Watch and community policing to enhance efforts to increase safety in the community. For more information or to volunteer, please contact:
planning@brcacalgary.org for planning and traffic issues
safety@brcacalgary.org for community safety concerns

Community Safety emerged as one of the most important issues to residents of Bridgeland/Riverside toward the latter half of 2008. Most residents of Bridgeland are aware that our community has seen an increase in property crime and an increase of vagrants over the past year. In order to voice our concerns on this and other safety issues, the BRCA called upon members of the community to participate in a letter writing campaign in early December. The BRCA would like to thank those of you who took the time to write a letter to the Mayor and our Alderman Joe Ceci to express your concerns.
