Calgary, AB – April 20, 2026: Qualico Communities Calgary is marking Qualico’s 75th anniversary with the launch of their Parade of Showhomes, a multi-community event inviting homebuyers to explore a diverse range of homes and Qualico communities across the Calgary region.
While the most excitement will take place over the kickoff weekend of April 25 and 26, 2026, the event and contest period will continue until June 30, 2026. The Parade will span seven communities: Ambleton, Bridgeport, Dawson’s Landing, Harmony, Painted Sky, Southbow Landing, and Vermilion Hill, and will offer visitors the opportunity to tour showhomes, connect with builders, and experience the distinct character of each community.
As part of the celebration, homebuyers who purchase a home in a participating community between April 25 and June 30, 2026, will be entered for a chance to win one of seven $7,500 cash rebates, with one winner selected per community. Showhomes will also feature exciting incentives and prize draws that can be entered while visiting.
“This milestone is an opportunity to reflect on how far we’ve come as a company and invite Calgarians to experience where we’re going,” says Emily Smith, Director of Marketing and Customer Care, Qualico Communities, Calgary. “The Parade of Showhomes will bring together some of our most dynamic communities and builder partners, giving homebuyers a chance to explore a variety of home styles, settings, and lifestyles.”
The event is part of Qualico’s broader 75th anniversary celebration, marking a legacy that began in 1951 and has grown into one of Canada’s most established real estate development companies. Guided by a long-term, community-first approach, Qualico continues to design and develop neighbourhoods that evolve over time and support how people live, work, and connect. “Celebrating 75 years is not just about looking back, it’s about continuing to build communities that stand the test of time,” says Smith. “From planning and design to builder partnerships and amenities, our focus remains on creating places that feel connected, livable, and meaningful for the people who call them home.”
