Landscaping & Community Maintenance

There’s a lot that goes into keeping Auburn Bay looking its best. 

From landscaping and irrigation to snow removal and seasonal maintenance, learn more about the work happening throughout the community, and who is responsible for what.  

Caring for Our Community

In addition to maintaining Auburn House, the Park and the Lake, the Auburn Bay Residents Association (ABRA) provides enhanced landscaping and maintenance throughout many areas of the community.

However, not all outdoor spaces in Auburn Bay are maintained by ABRA. Responsibility varies depending on property ownership and maintenance agreements, with some areas maintained by The City of Calgary, local school boards, homeowners or other organizations.

Use the information and maps below to learn more about landscaping and maintenance responsibilities throughout Auburn Bay.

Snow Removal Priorities

After a snowfall, ABRA’s maintenance team works through ABRA-maintained areas according to an established priority order. Higher-priority areas are addressed first to help maintain safe and accessible routes for residents, visitors and staff, with a focus on high-traffic pedestrian areas and important access points. Recreational and lower-priority areas are addressed once these key safety and access areas have been cleared.

Snow removal timing may vary depending on the amount and duration of snowfall, drifting, changing weather conditions and operational needs.

Priority 1
