Hello Ward 1!
It’s May, the time of year when we start to think more and more about outdoor activities. Ward 1 is an excellent place to enjoy the outdoors with our variety of parks, trails, and landscapes. Want to help keep these spaces beautiful? Calgary Parks is hosting its 55th Pathway and River Cleanup from May 15 to 17.
More details on the expended alcohol in parks pilot project are coming soon. This year, in addition to bookable picnic tables, there will be more fire pits and designated open park areas where alcohol can be consumed. Details will be on Calgary.ca as soon as they are available.
The City of Calgary offers complimentary compost for Calgarians made from our own food and yard waste. Book your appointment for pickup between April 25 and June 11.
The City runs various engagement projects throughout the year to collect your feedback on City services. Visit engage.calgary.ca to see what engagement projects are running in your community.
Council has set its Strategic Direction for 2023-2026. This document sets out the priorities of Council as a whole and will be used to inform the service planning and budget process later this year. You can read this document in its entirety on Calgary.ca.
Lastly, transit safety remains a top priority for me. I want to assure you that I see social disorder problems we face on Transit, and I will continue working with Calgary Transit to see that this problem is properly addressed.
Details on everything mentioned here are on Calgary.ca. As always, for the most up-to-date information on what’s happening in Ward 1 and at City Hall, subscribe to our email newsletter at Calgary.ca/Ward1.
