Hello Ward 1! Summer is in full swing. The long, warm days mean there is lots of time to get out and enjoy all the wonderful things that Calgary has to offer. One of those things is, of course, the Calgary Stampede, which is just around the corner. I am looking forward to connecting with constituents at several pancake breakfasts and community events over the 10 days of Stampede.
July is a busy month for City Council and Administration as we tie up loose ends before meetings of Council and committees resume in September. Administration is hard at work developing the 2023-2026 Service Plan and Budgets which will inform city services and taxes for the next four years. When this comes to Council in November, I’ll be fighting to ensure that Calgarians see clear value for their money with more predictable property tax bills. I will keep you updated here and online as this work progresses.
