Quinterra Legacy Garden starts to take shape in South Glenmore Park

Quinterra Legacy Garden starts to take shape in South Glenmore Park

Calgary’s first fully dedicated musical garden and performance space is now under construction in South Glenmore Park, with an expected completion date in late August.

The garden was created by the families of the five teens who lost their lives on April 15, 2014 in Brentwood. “Since this time, our five families have come together along with an amazing group of volunteers to design a project that will give back to our community and acknowledge the incredible support we received after losing our children and let others know that beyond tragedy and loss, there is light,” says the Quinterra Legacy Garden web site.

“The garden will be an interactive musical garden and performance space that reflects hope, possibility, creativity and the life-affirming qualities that each of our five amazing children embodied.”

It will be accessible to Calgarian’s of all ages and will include interactive musical and play elements along with a 30-foot diameter stage for programming including music, dance, theatre, spoken word, yoga, meditation, healing circles, etc.
