Calgary demolishes unsafe Ogden legion building after court loss

cbc.ca

The former Royal Canadian Legion 154 in Ogden, Calgary, will be demolished due to safety concerns and community pressure. The demolition follows a court dismissal of the owner's attempt to prevent it. The city of Calgary confirmed the demolition will proceed after years of resident complaints about the abandoned building. The owner has hired a demolition company, and the city will intervene if necessary to complete the process. The building, once a social hub, has been vacant since 2012 and become an "eyesore," according to the community association president. The land's future is uncertain, but residents hope for improvement.
