October 2022 – Antenna Installation Update
The proposed antenna installation located at 222 Sandarac Dr NW. As of September 8, 2022, this proposal was rejected by the Planning & Development Services business unit. The two reasons for non-concurrence were the distance from dwellings as well as the visual aesthetic impacts of the structure to the community. Please reach out to Councillor Jasmine Mian’s office at clward3@calgary.ca if you have any questions.

Rogers Communications is proposing to construct a new wireless communications installation at 222 Sandarac Drive NW. Land Solutions, the authorized third party acting on behalf of Rogers Communications, engaged the Sandstone community, the SMCA & others regarding this build.
By default, the SMCA board continues to remain neutral on this matter, with its core role being one of communication & engagement, supporting the local community to voice its support or opposition of the tower. During the February 2022 SMCA board meeting, the SMCA board met with a number of concerned citizens from the area, as well as representatives from the three tiers of government.
The SMCA board continues to encourage dialogue between the local community and Land Solutions, the City of Calgary, our MLA and our MPs, and as such provides the following links & published open letters to Land Solutions.
