Updates and prayer requests

Central Campus: We are continuing to work with the City of Calgary to ensure they have all the information needed to provide full Development Permit (DP) approval. We are grateful that the City has allowed the Building Permit (BP) application to proceed while the DP is being finalized. Ideally we’d like to see both the DP and BP approved by mid-April. Praise the Lord that the Construction Drawings were completed and they were submitted to support the BP application. A consultant has been engaged to review potential Energy Cost savings measures for the existing facility at Central Campus, any suggested changes to the existing facility would potentially require a separate budget.

NW Campus: The main floor concrete slab is now fully poured and the elevator shaft to the second level has been installed. The basement concrete slab will be poured soon and the steel structure will be installed over the next couple months. As soon as the weather is warm enough work will resume on some of the remaining outside work such as site grading, underground utilities and the landscaping wall.

Tenders: The tender process for the balance of Northwest and a large portion of Central Campus recently began. We are hopeful that the costs established during the tender process will be reasonable and that quality contractors will be available. The drawings that were used to support the BP application are also being used to support the Tender process.

Prayer requests:              

  • Pray that weather conditions are good and that frost comes out of the ground on a timely basis.
  • Pray for all those involved in the tender selection process, and that the right contractors will be available at the right price.
  • Pray that approval of the Central Campus Development and Building Permits will be received soon.
  • Pray that God gives the sustainability consultant special insight as they review potential energy cost savings of our existing space.
  • Pray for positive relationships to continue with neighbours at both Northwest and Central.
  • Pray for safety for all workers

Pray for God’s presence on the construction site at Northwest, the Global Ministry sites, and at Central Campus when that work begins.
