CREATING A NEW CALGARY
Together, we envision Calgary’s future as a thriving city that we will grow, powered by our ambition and determination. Our future is bright, but our present is challenged. Without effective leadership at City Council, Calgary will continue to be ignored by Danielle Smith’s government. We need effective partnerships with the Province and the Government of Canada to fully realize our potential as a city.
Building our future, even with partnerships in place, still presents challenges – from funding to decision-making and priority-setting.. The solution to these challenges is leadership.
It’s time to rethink our city, who gets a seat at the table, and what truly matters most as we shape the Calgary of tomorrow.
