Visit the Discovery Centre, located just North of the Alberta Children’s Hospital. Show suites by Brookfield Residential and Truman – with a new home builder coming soon!
University District is challenging all Calgarians to help us reach our goal of donating 800 lbs of food to the Calgary Food Bank! The NW lettered donation boxes will be at the Discovery Centre and your non-perishable food item will get you admission to Calgary’s newest outdoor winter festival, where they’ll also be accepting food item donations on event day! Visit the University District Discovery Centre to donate or online for more information at Northwestival.ca.
