Calgary’s Surf Wave Project | Calgary News

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.
