Happy April, Ward 6!
As we approach the 2027-2030 Business Plans and Budgets, the City of Calgary is asking Calgarians to provide input on how money is spent in our city. The four-year budget decides how much money is spent on City services and programs that Calgarians use every day.
You can share your thoughts and opinions by completing a short online survey or by visiting one of 14 pop-up events across the city. For more information, visit https://engage.calgary.ca/budgetinput.
In Council and our everyday lives, small choices can make big differences. If I had the chance to speak with you during the campaign, I likely mentioned my ongoing commitment to safety in our Ward 6 communities.
With that in mind, safe parking plays a critical role in keeping school areas safe.
Where drivers stop or park near schools affects visibility and safety for children and families who walk, bike, wheel, or travel through the area. Parking too close to corners, blocking driveways, or stopping where it’s not allowed can make it harder to see children, especially during busy drop-off and pick-up times.
Parking Safety and Compliance Officers are regularly present in school zones across the city, helping remind drivers about parking rules and safe choices that protect students and the community.
Safe parking is about more than speed limits and crosswalks. It also means following signs, leaving space at corners, and choosing legal parking spots that keep sightlines clear for everyone.
You can help keep school areas safe. Slow down, follow parking signs, avoid stopping in no-parking zones, and choose safe, legal parking.

On behalf of the Ward 6 Office and the City of Calgary, I wish you a happy April!
