The Inglewood Bird Sanctuary and Nature Centre have been providing migratory birds with a place to rest their wings since 1929. That's more than 80 years of conservation!
To date, 270 species of birds, 21 species of mammals and 347 species of plants have been recorded at the Sanctuary and Nature Centre by members of the public, volunteers and staff.
In 1883, Colonel James Walker settled the land that is now occupied by the sanctuary. In 1910, the current brick house - then named Inglewood - was built, and the surrounding area was named for the most prominent property in the area.

https://www.calgary.ca/csps/parks/locations/se-parks/inglewood-bird-sanctuary.html
Located at the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary.
The Colonel James Walker House is an early twentieth century, two-storey building constructed of red bricks and featuring sandstone trim, a low hipped roof and a wide verandah on the south and west sides. It is located on 0.98 hectares of land backing onto a lagoon on the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary in the Inglewood district of Calgary. The original brick carriage house adjacent to the building is also included in the designation.
HERITAGE VALUE
The heritage value of the Colonel James Walker House lies chiefly in that it served as the primary residence of Colonel James Walker for over 25 years. It is further significant as the house from which the surrounding community of Inglewood derived its name, as well as for its association with the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary. Finally, the house is valued as a good example of the eclectic residential architecture favoured by wealthy Albertans in the early twentieth century.

It’s a local favourite come summertime: lounging in an inflatable raft while coasting down the Bow River, admiring the view of the approaching downtown skyline.
Planning on Rafting Down the Bow River This Summer? Here’s How to Stay Safe:
https://www.avenuecalgary.com/Things-to-Do/Rafting-Down-the-Bow-River/
If you don’t have your own raft, you can rent from various sports-specific venues including Lazy Day Raft Rentals, Rapid Rent Outlaw Sports and the University of Calgary Outdoor Centre. The Paddle Station rents rafts and kayaks out of two mobile rental stations right along the Bow River.
Aside from Harvie Passage, the rapids down the Bow are all Class 1 rapids with the exception of Class 2 rapids near 10th Street N.W., but you still need to be aware of the hazards out there to make sure their trip is safe. Harry Daley, the owner of Lazy Day Raft Rentals, shares the essential tips when it comes to rafting down the river. You should also check the City’s handy safety tips page for updates on known danger zones and other considerations.

Plan your trip
Knowing your route means you can properly plan your day. This needs to happen before you leave the house. Daley says that some rafters will start from Baker Park and now that the west side of Bowness Park has reopened, most rafters are choosing to start here. Popular end points are Prince’s Island, Shouldice Park or Edworthy Park.
“Rafting from Baker Park to Prince’s Island Park will take roughly 3 hours, ending at Edworthy Park takes one and a half hours and ending at Shouldice Park takes one hour.”
