Venues

Calgary Climate Week takes place across three distinct venues, each chosen to reflect the energy and diversity of the city itself. From a landmark downtown office tower to Canada’s largest living history museum to a vibrant neighbourhood event space, every setting is part of the story.

The Ampersand
112 4th Avenue SW
Directions

Located in the heart of Calgary’s downtown core, The Ampersand’s striking lobby, stylish lounges, and vibrant common areas make it the perfect place to come together, make connections, and feel the energy of something big just beginning. As we kick off Calgary Climate Week, there’s no better backdrop for the conversations, relationships, and ideas that will carry us through the week!

Getting Here:

The nearest CTrain stop is 1 Street SW Station on 7 Avenue, just three blocks south — a short walk north along 1st Street SW brings you to the front door.
All downtown CTrain stations fall within Calgary Transit’s free fare zone, so if you’re traveling along the 7 Avenue corridor, your ride is free.
The building is also connected to the downtown +15 network and well-served by the downtown bike lane grid.

Sustainability Highlights:

The Ampersand holds BOMA BEST certification, one of Canada’s most recognized green building standards, as well as a Breathscore air quality certification.
Recognition as a GRESB Real Estate Premier Partner, reflecting its commitment to health, wellness, and sustainable building operations. It’s a fitting launchpad for a week built around climate action.
