Couldn't make it to the open house (hope the materials are made available online), but what people are saying sure sounds promising. And I'm looking forward to the Ft Calgary to Inglewood bridge; let's get Oscar Neimeyer on the phone!
The weir is most definitely still there. And while it is now safe to swim over, I wouldn't want to be an unsure swimmer trying it. That being said, there wouldn't be any swimming area that didn't have some kind of barrier between it and the main course of the river.
