COMMUNITY INFORMATION

The CPKC Women’s Open is a professional golf event hosted by Golf Canada and sanctioned by LPGA Tour. The event is the only Canadian stop on the LPGA’s global Tour and will feature the top golfers in the world, including defending champion Megan Khang and Canadian star Brooke Henderson. This year’s playing will run from July 23rd – July 28th at the Earl Grey Golf Club.

Play begins around 7:00 am each morning and concludes around 7:00 pm each night.

CPKC Women’s Open spectator and volunteer parking will be located at Mount Royal University. Both Spectators & Volunteers will not be permitted to park in the south portion of the North Glenmore Park neighbourhood, south of Glenmore Trail and east of Crowchild Trail. Golf Canada has partnered with the City of Calgary and bylaw enforcement to implement a plan that will enforce access restrictions to the North Glenmore Park community throughout the week of the CPKC Women’s Open. This will include police enforcement, city-issued signage, and temporary bylaw adjustment targeting non-resident traffic.

Access will be restricted via a police roadblock at Crowchild Trail and Longridge Drive during tournament hours (approximately 7am – 7pm). The City of Calgary will distribute residential hang tags to all homeowners living within the forementioned neighbourhood to allow access through the road block. The purpose of this is to ensure that access into the community is restircted to only residents, residential needs and select tournament vehicles. The City of Calgary will determine the number of resident passes for each home in the coming weeks. Residences will be eligibile to request additional hangtags as required from the City in a process to be determined by the City. A vehicle must display the required hang tag in order to access the community. Paid duty police officers will monitor this checkpoint and help control access.

These tags will be distributed by the City prior to the tournament.

Paid duty officers stationed at the closure will be instructed to use their discretion in allowing non-tagged vehicles past checkpoints, e.g., if a motorist fails to display a hang tag but produces a driver’s license with a Longridge Drive address, the paid duty officer would be more likely to allow entry than if the motorist were to say they were visiting someone on Longridge Drive. However, the only way to guarantee passage is to display a hang tag.

It is understood that residents inside the closure area may require outside visitors to come to their homes during tournament week. As with residents who fail to produce a hang tag, paid duty officers are more likely to allow a branded landscaper or contractor vehicle through the checkpoint than an unmarked private vehicle.

The purpose of this access restriction is to limit tournament-related traffic from infiltrating the neighbourhood and parking on local streets.

Golf Canada is working with the City of Calgary to create a traffic management plan that will turn Longridge Drive from Crowchild Trail to Lyle Ave. And Lyle Ave to 20th Street SW into a ‘No Parking’ zone. This will be done through a comprehensive signage plan and city suppoted enforcement. Additional no event parking signs will be posted in the communities both east & west of Crowchild Trail.

A resident hang tag does not allow parking in this area. The ‘No Parking’ Zone is to help ensure that there is an easily accessible and clear route in case of emergency.

If you require immediate enforcement during the CPKC Women’s open, please call the Calgary Police non-emergency number at 403-266-1234.

The tournament will not affect any municipal services (i.e., trash pickup) that would otherwise normally take place. It is asked that your waste is curbside by 7:00 am on your regularly scheduled collection day as collection may be earlier than usual.

Yes, you can! All ride share vehicles and other for hire vehicles will be directed to 2386 Longridge Drive, adjacent to the hydro corridor & just steps from the course.

Of course! Bike parking will be available in the hydro corridor off of Longridege Drive (adjacent to the Glenmore Pathway) all week, with a bike valet service operating From Thursday, July 25th – Sunday, July 28th. Be sure to bring your bike lock for security.
