Hello, Ward 6,
Merry Christmas! Wishing you one filled with happiness and the laughter of those who matter most to you. I always look forward to the new year, as it brings hope and a renewed perspective on this great City we live in. I hope that 2024 is a year full of prosperity, health, and much joy for you and yours.
Looking back on 2023, the Ward 6 office staff are grateful to be your advocates, working with both your community and the City of Calgary Administration. Some of the things that our offices were asked to advocate for this past year were increased public safety, more traffic safety measures, removal of extraneous roadway signage, better traffic control at intersections, dead tree removal on boulevards, and much more.
One of Council’s priorities this year is affordable housing for Calgarians. I am happy to support the Calgary Housing Strategy as I feel this comprehensive plan is crucial for addressing housing related challenges in our city and improving the quality of life for residents. I am looking forward to continuing this important work into 2024.
In October, I was selected to sit on ten Council committees. I will continue my work on the Audit Committee to ensure effective governance and compliance at the City. I am also excited to go back to my roots and join the Calgary Economic Development (CED) board. In the past, I helped CED to implement various investment initiatives and business retention strategies. I look forward to once again helping attract businesses and showcasing that Calgary is a liveable, welcoming, and prosperous city that any company will thrive in.
My office and I look forward to continuing our work with Ward 6 residents in building a community we are proud to live in.
Sincerely,
Richard
