Further to our announcement dated May 10, 2026 about the recent parking concerns relating to the Co-op parking lot in Beddington during CCAC’s Sunday Services, the Board of Elders (“BOE”) contacted the Calgary Co-op Head Office on May 11, 2026 to clarify parking arrangements following the transition of parking management to Park Indigo.
Calgary Co-op has officially advised that the parking agreement between CCAC and Co-op store at Beddington was no longer valid since the store is closed. In addition, Calgary Co-op Head Office does not have this particular agreement in their record. As a result, CCAC does not have any agreement authorizing the use of the Beddington Co-op parking lot for church parking purposes since Park Indigo takes over the parking management. This applies not only on Sundays, but also other activities throughout the week.
As reminded in Romans 13:1, all authority is established by God. This includes the management of Calgary Co-op and Park Indigo, who are responsible for enforcing the parking regulations. As Christians and witnesses to our community, we should conduct ourselves in a lawful and respectful manner and set a positive example to our neighbors in accordance with the teachings of Scripture.
Accordingly, the BOE respectfully requests that all brothers, sisters, and friends refrain from using the Co-op parking lot during Sunday Services and other church activities until further notice. Please ensure that your vehicles are parked legally and in a manner that does not inconvenience or negatively affect the surrounding neighborhood.
For your reference, the current parking regulations posted at the Co-op parking lot are as follows:
“Maximum 2-hour parking for Co-op patrons only with NO WALK OFF. Unauthorized vehicles will be ticketed and/or towed at owner’s expense.”
The BOE will continue to make every effort to negotiate a new parking agreement with Calgary Co-op and will provide further updates as additional information becomes available.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
In Christ,
CCAC BOE
