After the demolition of the General Hospital in 1998, the Brigeland Riverside community has been presented with a unique opportunuity. With its view overlooking downtown Calgary, its historical significance and its potential value in Calgary's strong real estate market, the Old General site is of great importance to many interested groups. The decision on what to do with the site will have a great impact on the BRCA's future, as any development on this site will become the showpiece of the community.
