From the Office of the Mayor

How City Council balances budgets is critical to maintaining the right investments into the core services and key projects that directly impact the lives of Calgarians. It’s my job as Mayor to lead a City Council that can respond to the needs of Calgarians now and for the future – that’s why we choose to invest in the infrastructure, systems, and ideas that will provide long-term success for Calgary.

In 2023, I established the Downtown Safety Leadership Table to identify barriers, opportunities, solutions, and strategies to address real and perceived safety issues in Calgary’s downtown. Led by community volunteers, the table convened more than 45 community partners, including social agencies, Indigenous elders, and law enforcement and public safety departments helped to develop 28 recommendations to support downtown safety.
