Lake Bonavista: Calgary's First Lake Community Deserves First-Class Protection
Lake Bonavista holds a special place in Calgary's history as the city's first community built around a private recreational lake. Established in the early 1970s, this mature SE Calgary neighbourhood features winding streets, established trees, and a strong sense of community pride. The vehicles parked along Lake Bonavista Drive and Lakeview Village reflect that pride — well-maintained SUVs, luxury sedans, and family crossovers that deserve professional-grade protection.
