Here's a good story about it: http://www.calgaryarea.com/nw/valley...%20Ver.%29.pdf

From that article:

The City of Calgary finally annexed the Valley Ridge area in January 1981, in response to a petition filed by Tri-Media Studios Ltd. Tri-Media acquired the Happy Valley lands from Mr. Allen in the late 1970’s. Tri-Media’s development concept was to create a “Hollywood North”, comprising a movie / television / recording studio; and adjacent complementary industrial and commercial uses, plus a residential community, two golf courses, and extensive natural open space amenities. Quite a change from Ernie Lutz’s original vision for Happy Valley twenty years earlier!

Due to the economic downturn in 1982, Tri-Media’s plan was never implemented.

Pretty amazing to look back at what could've been. I wonder how that would've changed Calgary's entertainment industry. Can you even imagine Calgary being "Hollywood North"?! lol. Very cool.
