Food insecurity continues to be a concern for many Calgarians, affecting families, seniors, newcomers, and working individuals alike. The Calgary Food Bank remains the city’s central emergency food support hub, offering nutritious hampers that provide households with groceries when they need it most. Communi

Following nine very full days of mid-cycle budget adjustments , council has delivered several meaningful wins while also reducing the projected tax increase for residents and businesses. Throughout this process, the priorities that Ward 3 residents raised during the campaign remained front and centre - improved transit, strengthened community safety, and stronger investment for our growing communities. Below are some of the key highlights: Lowering the Projected Tax Increase

During recent budget discussions , it was noted that Calgary Transit is planning the phase out the City’s remaining express bus routes as part of its updated RouteAhead  plan. Express services currently operate on ten routes citywide, including six that serve Ward 3. These routes provide limited-stop service between residential areas and downtown but are largely a legacy of Calgary’s earlier, smaller city structure and are not provided consistently across neighbourhoods. Calg

The holiday season brings celebration, connection, and a noticeable increase in household waste - about 25% more than usual.

Waste Reduction + Sorting Knowing where things belong also helps reduce waste and make a difference. Blue Cart: wrapping paper, tissue, flattened bo

Budget Week is here at the City of Calgary. Starting November 24, City Council begins reviewing the 2026 budget adjustments - the final year of the four-year budget cycle set by the previous Council. Unlike a full budget reset, these adjustments are smaller and strategic. They strengthen areas that need extra support while staying true to the long-term plan approved in 2022. The next full four-year budget will be set in November 2026. Why These Adjustments Matter The propose

Snow is falling across Calgary, with 5 to 10 centimetres expected by Monday. For your safety, please be patient, allow extra time for travel, bundle up, and be ready for winter conditions on your commute. Calgary Transit is also implementing city-wide snow detours to keep service moving.

A busy week with plenty of firsts, thoughtful conversations, and a few highlights worth noting. Here’s a look back at what happened. 🔸At Monday’s Executive Committee meeting, a motion was introduced to repeal blanket rezoning. The Committee’s role is to review a Notice of Motion on its technical and administrative merits before deciding if it’s ready to be forward to Council.

The Functional Planning Study for the 144 Avenue North Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is entering its next phase, and community feedback is an important part of shaping the project.

Input from the community, along with technical analysis, has informed the recommended plan along the Crowfoot corridor. Phase 3 of public engagement is now underway.  Th
