In addition to our frontline crews working 24/7 to fix the pipe, I want to thank the City of Calgary comms team. They’ve been on site producing near real-time photos, videos, and clear updates so Calgarians know what’s happening and why. I couldn’t provide these updates without them.

Small businesses are the backbone of Montgomery, Bowness, and our city. Our Council team, including area Councillors Atkinson and Tyers, was on the ground supporting those impacted by the feeder main work. Let’s keep doing our part: www.calgary.ca/emergencies/...

There is still work to be done but there is progress.

Mayor Farkas says as crews work through the night to assess the extent of the damage from the water main break, it’s unlikely there will be another update until early tomorrow morning.

Good morning, Calgary! Heading into a big Council week. I signed the motion to begin repealing blanket rezoning because I favour a more targeted approach to building homes. If approved, this will go to a public hearing. More to come -- hope to see you at the Menorah lighting tonight! #yyccc

Council has approved Calgary’s 2026 Budget.

We're keeping life more affordable by reducing the property tax increase and spending on what matters most to Calgarians: Public Safety, Transit, Infrastructure and Housing.

For centuries, cities have been planned by and for able-bodied, gainfully-employed men.

Feminist urban planning isn’t proposing the opposite, but a model that considers all stages of human life, from infancy to old age, without giving greater importance to the productive-work stage.
