Community Resources
As Calgary and Tuscany continue to evolve, the planning role of the TCA aims to provide information to the community on planning matters and support residents and the community in engaging with the planning process. The TCA performs an advisory role and provides comments to the City of Calgary where appropriate.
The TCA does not have any authority in any planning matters or decisions made by the City of Calgary or the school boards that manage our local schools.
The Local Area Plan related to Tuscany is the Revised West Scenic Acres Area Structure Plan. (Download Link from the City of Calgary)
