The City is looking for Calgarians input in a plan to redevelop West Eau Claire Park.

The area in question is along the Eau Claire Promenade from the Louise Bridge to Eau Claire Plaza. The City said public input will help identify a clear vision to guide the design, provide a concept plan and prioritize improvements for the park.

In the words of her younger brother Tej, Gudi Gill touched a lot of people.
