Popular gay bar ‘The Backlot’ in search of new home due to Calgary condo development - Calgary | Globalnews.ca A proposed development in Calgary's downtown core has jeopardized the future of The Backlot, which has been in its location on 10 Avenue S.W. since 1996.

CBC Calgary: “ALBERTA 2SLGBTQ+ COMMUNITY PUSHES TO SAVE ONE OF 3 REMAINING GAY BARS”

“But the establishment's lease is up at the end of November, and the building's future is in question as developer Truman Homes has proposed an 18-story mixed-use tower on the block.

“That's why Calgary lawyer and former Alberta Liberal Party leader David Khan started the SAVE The Backlot Bar campaign. The effort is inviting residents to comment on the redevelopment proposal, which will close Friday.”
