Lifestyle in Eau Claire
Prince's Island Park, about 20 hectares in the Bow and home to Canada Day celebrations and the Calgary Folk Music Festival, is at the door.

What to watch for in Eau Claire
Eau Claire flooded in June 2013. The 1.39 km Downtown Flood Barrier along the Bow, built for a 1-in-200-year flood, was completed in 2023, but ask about each building's flood history and insurance. The former Eau Claire Market site was cleared in 2025 for a Green Line station that is no longer in Phase 1, so its future use is undecided. Festivals at Prince's Island and Eau Claire Plaza bring summer crowds and noise.
