How to Prepare Your Business for a Drought
How your Business can support water conservation
Local businesses play an important role in our economy and can also make a difference in helping to conserve our water supply.
To find information for your business to visit calgary.ca/drought
This page offers businesses suggestions and resources to identify potential water-saving opportunities within their operations.
It is also recommend to look at The City’s Outdoor Water Restrictions Guide to become familiar with when and how water can be used, if outdoor water restrictions are enacted later this year.
Stay informed
As drought conditions evolve, The City will continue to keep the BIA and businesses informed. The next update will be provided in late April, but you can also visit calgary.ca/drought for the most current information.
An An Kitchen and Bar
We're excited to welcome a brand new business to the Beltline BIA! An An Kitchen and Bar offers a luxurious experience with both classic and fusion Vietnamese dishes. Welcome to the BLOX, An An!
