Exactly one year ago, you elected me to be your City Councillor. I cannot thank you enough. I’m proud of the work I’ve done both in the ward and with my colleagues on City Council.
As a Rundle kid and graduate of Pearson High School, I definitely witnessed the stigma of coming from the northeast. But what created that?
Now that it’s September, the kids are back in school and city council is back in the office. Read my latest newsletter to learn how we spent the last bit of summer.
My team and I have been hard at work, co-operating with various departments at the city to bring a number of improvements to Ward 5. You can read all about it in my latest newsletter!
By now you might have heard city council passed a climate strategy for Calgary, with the vision to reach net zero emissions by 2050. I proudly voted in favour of the strategy because I believe Calgary should be a leader in the fight against climate change. We can’t be sitting on the sidelines. We must be part of the game!
We heard very loudly that one of the big things to focus on in Ward 5 is keeping our neighbourhoods clean. The problem is particularly bad in our alleys, where residents regularly dump trash. In response, we worked with the City to create the Adopt An Alley project.
It has been an incredible eight months as your city councillor in Ward 5. We’ve had no shortage of things to improve and issues to advocate for and we’re making things happen because you have taken the time to reach out to me and my staff to let us know what you need and being a part of building better communities.
The best way for me to do my job in serving you is to have open lines of communication. Your ideas and feedback are important to me!
