Calgary’s seniors deserve safe sidewalks, reliable transit, and clear support from City Hall. Too often, seniors face icy walkways, poor access to parks, and long waits for basic services. Snow and Ice: After every snowfall, I will launch a 48-hour “Senior Safety Sweep” to clear sidewalks, crosswalks, and mailboxes. A “Snow Angels+” network of volunteers...
The Sheldon Chumir safe consumption site was launched as a pilot to address the opioid crisis. Years later, the results speak for themselves. Instead of helping families heal, the site has spread open drug use into nearby communities, crime has gone up, and overdoses keep rising despite millions in funding. These sites have failed to...
Red tape slows projects and drives investment away. Misconceptions about oil and gas damage Calgary’s reputation as a place to invest. At the same time, global competition grows while limited access to markets keeps Canadian energy undervalued. Cut Red Tape: I will fight to reduce red tape and push for faster, clearer approvals at City...
Builders across Calgary face the same obstacle—red tape that slows down projects, raises costs, and pushes investment away. Permits drag on for months instead of weeks, leaving trades waiting, families struggling to find homes they can afford, and small businesses caught in the squeeze. Faster Approvals for HousingAs councillor, I will cut red tape and...
Public art should build pride in Calgary, not waste taxpayer money on projects residents do not want. Past controversies show the need for oversight, transparency, and local focus. Local First: At least 99 per cent of public art should come from Calgary artists, with outside input only in rare cases. Visible Value: Funds should go...
Builders across Calgary face the same problem: red tape. Permits take months instead of weeks. Approvals drag on. These delays raise costs, push back projects, and make it harder to finish homes on time. Families pay the price through fewer affordable homes and higher housing costs. Faster Permits: I will cut red tape and launch...
Calgarians’ sense of safety is at its lowest point since 2010. Transit safety concerns have risen a staggering 1600% since 2020 while concerns about homelessness have risen by 350%. The majority of Calgarians feel that the police force is understaffed and the top suggestion by Calgarians to increase their sense of safety is to have...
This is simple. Calgarians loudly said “no” to blanket rezoning so I will repeal it. Many candidates have promised to repeal the policy, but I want to go farther and implement policies so that future councils have a very difficult time passing anything that resembles blanket rezoning. It only takes one bad council to bring...
Calgarians deserve to know exactly how their money is spent—clearly, simply, and without barriers. We need an open checkbook of city spending, a capital projects dashboard, full contract disclosure, budget reports that align with actual results, and plain-language tools to engage the public. These five reforms are the norm in cities across Canada and it’s time we implemented these...
Time and time again the public has spoken and City Hall has ignored us. Bad policies like blanket rezoning, the single use bag bylaw, and the constant tax hikes have all faced widespread opposition but council ignored Calgarians and pushed forward with their agenda – that’s not representation. No more secret agendas – I will put Calgarians...
