Notice of Motion: Review and Reform of the Downtown Calgary Transit Free Fare Zone (EC2026-0106)
Motion Carried 15-0 | Vote: Yes​
Together with Ward 6 Councillor John Pantazopoulos, I brought forward a Notice of Motion calling for a comprehensive review of Calgary's Downtown Free Fare Zone along the 7th Avenue CTrain corridor. The review will examine financial impacts, ridership patterns, safety, and fare equity, giving Council the full information needed to make sound, system-wide transit decisions. It does not predetermine an outcome, but directs Administration to present viable alternatives, such as modified fare structures, incentive programs, or new sponsorship models, with recommendations due back by Q2 2026.

Notice of Motion: Amending The City of Calgary Flag Policy CP2016-07, EC2025-1029
Motion Carried 8-7 | Vote: No​
Council approved a Notice of Motion to amend Calgary’s flag-raising policy, removing the existing protocol for the temporary flying of international flags at City Hall. The motion passed 8–7; I voted against it. Flag raisings at the municipal plaza have long been a meaningful way to recognize Calgary’s diverse communities, with a history of peaceful, well-managed celebrations and no record of safety concerns. Removing a clear, transparent process and centralizing decisions in the Mayor’s Office weakens community recognition and inclusion. Our municipal plaza is the people’s plaza, and the people should be reflected within it. Read more HERE.

Notice of Motion: Repeal of Blanket Rezoning (Land Use Bylaw 1P2007 Amendments Implementing City-Wide Residential Rezoning) EC2025-0995
Motion Carried 13-2 | Vote: Yes​
After hearing concerns from Ward 3 residents about city-wide (blanket) rezoning, Council voted on December 15 to begin the process of repealing the bylaw and move toward more targeted approaches to housing growth. One year of implementation has provided clearer insight into what worked and what did not. While blanket rezoning has not changed development patterns in Ward 3, residents have expressed the need for greater certainty about how their neighbourhoods may evolve in the future. This vote reflects a commitment to thoughtful, community-informed decisions as we plan for Calgary’s long-term housing needs. Read more HERE.
