Lovely to join families for the Mayor’s Holiday Storytime at the Library! Thank-you to the families and staff who made it special. From movie nights & hot chocolate to gift-wrap pop-ups and Rozsa Arts, there’s something for everyone this season. Check out all of the Library’s winter programs! #yyccc

Stopped by Hannis Pizza tonight in Glamorgan: family-run, and always welcoming. Every time we choose a place like this, we’re supporting neighbours and keeping our communities strong. Shop local, it matters. #yyccc

Thrilled to attend Calgary Arts Academy’s Create to Connect showcase at the Jube last night. It takes real courage to step into the lights and share your art, and these students delivered on the big stage with heart and talent. A wonderful night for Calgary’s arts community. #yyccc

Great to be hosted by Calgary Economic Development for their final Economy & Coffee of 2025. As we grow toward two million residents, execution matters. Public safety, housing, and long-term social and physical infrastructure will define our path forward. We get there by working together. #yyccc

As temperatures continue to drop, let's please stay safe around storm ponds this winter! Even if frozen, storm ponds are not safe for skating, walking, or playing as the water levels can change and they can contain hazards that aren't visible.

No, these funds will help them to open the new centre in the old Scouts building in West Hillhurst.

I was very involved in making this come to life with Cllr Ward and seconded the motion. Collaboration for the win, and very excited to welcome the NaAC to Ward 7.

Vancouver has reindeer buses and this should be a thing in every Canadian city (they have tails too).

Thank you, City Council, for your overwhelming support for our public safety and affordability budget. The next four years will bring challenges, but one thing is clear: with this team and our shared focus, Calgary is ready to meet them head-on. #yyccc

Thanks Buzz. Not sure what votes you're referring to. If you mean my opposition to wholesale cuts, I stand by that. Now is the time to invest, not massive austerity.

Your new City Council team has delivered, with a budget that keeps services strong and makes life more affordable for Calgarians. With our adjustments, the average homeowner will save more than $100/yr -- and major new investment in public safety, transit, housing, and recreation. #yyccc

Our Council team recently met with local elected leaders from Calgary's neighbouring cities and towns. Regional teamwork is essential: on water, transit, housing, economic growth, and more. We’re stronger when we plan and build together. #yyccc

I was grateful this AM to join the Calgary Children’s Foundation and QR Calgary for Pledge Day, raising funds for children’s charities across our city. Honoured to continue the mayor’s tradition of reading pledges and supporting vital work for our most vulnerable young neighbours. #yyccc

From 5.4% down to 1.18%. Calgary, we heard you. Midway through budget debate, Council has sharply reduced the planned tax increase while still increasing investments in public safety β€” especially on transit. Thank you to Council for working together to make life more affordable. #yyccc
