Yes, the Cornerstone Homeowners Association (HOA) is mandated to ensure the long-term sustainability of the community of Cornerstone by contributing to the development of a sense of community and responsibility amongst neighbours towards the physical attributes of the community.

We will continue to keep our residents informed of any changes moving forward, but in the meantime, please visit the City’s website directly.
Anthem has dedicated land for five school sites, but the schools themselves are funded and constructed by the Province of Alberta and respective school boards. They are in various stages of funding.
A public K-5 elementary school is in its initial design stage targeting a 2029-2030 completion date with capacity for 890 students.
Cornerstone also has a public high school site located south of Country Hills Blvd that has been fast tracked for construction. It is targeted to open in 2029 and will have capacity for 1,800 students.
Additionally, the community has a public-Catholic joint-use site. The public middle school on this site is in its design stage with a targeted 2029-2030 completion date with capacity for 925 students. The Catholic K-9 school within this site has no completion date yet.
No additional information or timing is available for the other schools at this time, but please continue to monitor the CBE and CCSD websites for the most up to date information on future schools in Cornerstone.
Cornerstone’s multifamily projects will range in height from four to six storeys. There is also a planned Major Activity Centre (MAC) at the intersection of Country Hills Boulevard and 60th Street that may support future construction of up to eight storeys. The MAC will be a comprehensively designed mixed-use development that will serve as a central hub of the community when it is complete.
Anthem, the developer, does not plant trees on private property. However, Cornerstone is part of the Complete Streets initiative, where trees are planted in the road right of way along each street.
The road right of way (or boulevard) adjacent to your property is land that is actually owned by the City, and maintained by you. The City uses this land for snow stock piling, road maintenance or other items as required.
As the community developer, Anthem is responsible for providing the maintenance and care of all common areas and community infrastructure for two years after construction is completed. This includes maintaining the park, playfields and playgrounds, pathways, sidewalks, streets and boulevards. Seasonal maintenance includes regular street sweeping and snow clearance from collector roads when snowfall events exceed 5cm. Once the two-year maintenance period is complete, maintenance is turned over to the community’s HOA. If you’re unsure who’s responsible for a specific area, or if something needs attention, contact calgary@anthemproperties.com to talk to our Anthem team or call 311 to connect with the City.
