Construction begins on Walden Fire Station and Library

Residents in Calgary’s growing southeast will gain a permanent fire station and a new public library in one shared community hub, with construction now underway on the Walden Fire Station and Library. With an estimated project cost of $34.2 million, the project will create Calgary's first integrated fire station and public library. The facility, located at 969 Walden Drive S.E., will include a permanent two-bay fire station and a new Calgary Public Library location serving residents of Walden, Legacy, Chaparral, Wolf Willow and surrounding communities. The facility is anticipated to open in 2028. “This project reflects the kind of thoughtful infrastructure investment that helps build a more connected, resilient and livable Calgary,” says Mayor Jeromy Farkas. “By bringing essential services together in one location and making efficient use of public resources, we're creating lasting value for residents and helping build thriving communities.” The Government of Alberta contributed $4.1 million toward the project through the Local Government Fiscal Framework and the former Municipal Sustainability Initiative, supporting the delivery of this investment in Calgary's southeast.
