Together with Ward 6 Councillor John Pantazopoulos , Councillor Yule has co-sponsored a Notice of Motion calling for a comprehensive review of the longstanding free fare zone along Calgary’s downtown CTrain corridor. Calgary’s free fare zone allows CTrain riders to travel at no cost along 7 Avenue S, between Downtown West/Kerby Station and City Hall/Bow Valley College Station. The zone has existed since the CTrain began operating in 1981 and is rooted in an even older tradit

Another full but generative week at City Hall. Lots of meetings, lots of time in community, and lots of preparing for some big things coming up over the next few weeks. Here’s a look at what’s been going on. I had the opportunity to connect with Ward 3 school board trustees Laura Hack (CBE) and Terry Thuo (CCSD) . We spoke about upcoming school build projects in our communities and how the City can help support both boards as this work moves ahead. Twice a year, the City sur

Illegal dumping isn’t just unsightly, it’s harmful to our neighbourhoods. Whether it’s furniture left in an alley, garbage tossed beside a park, or construction debris dumped on vacant land, these actions damage our environment, attract pests, and create safety hazards. In Ward 3, we've seen a few instances where this issue has become more visible, and it's time to take action together. Many people don’t realize that illegal dumping is a serious offence under Calgary’s Commun

The City is implementing a revised plan that urgently expedites construction of a replacement for the Bearspaw South Feeder Main (BSFM) due to the critical condition of the current pipe and its importance in Calgary’s drinking water system.   The project will add a parallel steel pipe of the same size as the existing BSFM. Over time, this new pipe will take over service from the current line. The replacement pipe is now anticipated to be completed in December 2026.   The pro

When the Bearspaw Feeder Main first ruptured in 2024, it served as a wakeup call for Calgary. When it failed again last month , it brought more than a citywide disruption. It revealed deeper challenges in how we plan for, maintain, and invest in Calgary’s critical water infrastructure. Now that emergency repairs are complete, it is time to take a step back to reflect on what this experience has taught me, and what we as a city must learn moving forward. Understanding What We

Earlier this month, Councillor Yule had the honour of attending the grand reopening of the Panorama Hills Community Centre (PHCC) , celebrating the completion of this important and much-needed expansion. The project added 13,000 square feet to this reimagined community hub and included renovations to the existing facility. The upgraded PHCC now features two community rooms and a member lounge, all available for rentals, events, and everyday use by residents. With these enhanc

Because water is constantly moving an
