Hello, Ward 1!
I’m wishing you and your families a happy Thanksgiving, and looking a little further ahead this month, a happy Halloween, too!
Halloween Safety
A reminder to take extra care this Halloween. Whether you’re out trick-or-treating, on our roads, or expecting trick-or-treaters at your home, the City of Calgary has important safety tips for everyone to have a safe and spooky Halloween at calgary.ca/halloweensafety.
Bowness Wading Pool Update
Construction is expected to begin this fall and continue throughout the winter to repair the wading pool in Bowness Park. The project should be completed in the spring and the pool is expected to resume normal operations for Summer 2024.
Ward 1 Website
The Ward 1 Office has been working hard over the last several months adding additional content to the Ward 1 website. You can find information on how to report issues or share your feedback on various City topics, progress updates on ongoing issues and projects in Ward 1, and more information on important Council votes. Check it out at calgary.ca/ward1.
2023 Budget Adjustments
Next month, Council will debate adjustments to the municipal budget for the coming year. It’s my priority to keep taxes as low as possible while ensuring you continue to have all of the services you rely on. I’m interested in hearing your feedback on what we need to prioritize most. Visit calgary.ca/ward1 to get in touch.
