Eau Claire at a glance

Eau Claire's riverbank promenade forms part of Calgary's pathway system, one of the longest urban pathway networks in North America. Eau Claire takes its name from the Eau Claire and Bow River Lumber Company, founded by investors from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, which ran a sawmill on the site. Prince's Island Park, reached by footbridges from Eau Claire, is named after the lumber company's manager Peter Prince and hosts the Calgary Folk Music Festival each July.

Gambling responsibly in Eau Claire

Gambling is a leisure expense, never an income. Decide how much and how long before you start, never try to win back what you lost, and switch on the limits on offer. If you are unsure about your habits, call the Alberta Addiction Helpline at 1-866-332-2322; the service covers the whole province, Eau Claire included. Self-exclusion programs run by AGLC cover the provincial site and land-based venues.
