Calgary is a beautiful city, with Ward 8’s amazing neighbourhoods and a thriving culture at its heart. When I speak to my students about their future, I ask them to be unafraid and passionate. I hold myself and this city to that same standard.
From the beginning, I’ve said that we must embrace and cultivate the aspects of Calgary we love, while being unafraid to challenge the parts of this city that can be better. We all agree that Calgary is a city of promise, but it is a promise for which we must be relentless in our pursuit. Today we will start the important work of building Calgary for the future together. I am excited to lead this work as your Ward 8 City Councillor.
Throughout this campaign, I asked this very question. I asked it of myself when I decided to run for Ward 8 City Councillor, and I asked it of the thousands of Ward 8 residents I’ve met over the course of this journey. I listened and heard how much you love our city, and I also heard your concerns about the increasing uncertainty we face as the world changes around us.
Months ago, I called my team to let them know that I was going to publicly disclose my donors. I wanted to do it early and often throughout the campaign, even though disclosure isn’t legally required until after the election.
