The Robsons are one of the many families who have chosen to make Panorama Hills their new home in 2012. The Robsons were attracted by the affordability and amenities available in the area.

St. Patrick's Day
Set to transform a previously underwhelming East Village island into an all-season destination, Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) has announced plans for their $20 million overhaul of St. Patrick's Island.
