I'm equally thankful to be on this all-star team.

This Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for our amazing team, volunteers, donors — and the Calgarians who’ve shown up with heart and hope for our city.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving. 🍂

It’s fitting that I voted with @daorcey.bsky.social after we’ve spent the last 6 months working closely together on @jeromyyyc.bsky.social’s campaign for mayor. It has been the most unexpected experience of my life but also one of the most rewarding. I’m proud of the work we’ve done and our team.

"I’m not perfect. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve led. I’ve grown. I’ve listened. And I’ve always kept my word."

I've grown to truly like and respect Jeromy. I'm excited about where he will take our city. Later this morning, I'm going to vote for him to be my mayor.

Calgary’s built on promises—work hard, do your part, and you’ll have a fair shot. I’ve lived that promise, from Dover to #yyccc to Glenbow Ranch. I’m running for mayor to restore trust, make our city safer & more affordable, and keep Calgary’s promise for everyone: calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

What a night! Honoured to share my vision for a safer, more affordable Calgary in front of a full house at the Werklund Centre.

Important conversations like these bring us one step closer to this new path forward for Calgarians. Help us get there by voting: www.jeromy.ca/vote/

Schools are not only places of learning. They’re where many children access meals, mentorship, and vital supports that help reduce poverty and build stability at home. Nearly one in six Alberta kids lives in poverty, and more than 20% of Calgary households face food insecurity.

Excellent forum in a beautiful venue. And packed! @jeromyyyc.bsky.social stayed to chat with attendees until the lights had to be shut off.

Jeromy Farkas @jeromyyyc.bsky.social · 9d

Appreciation to the Calgary Alliance for the Common Good for hosting a very meaningful community forum.

Conversations on housing, mental health, jobs, reconciliation, and climate show us what’s possible when we listen, learn, and work together.

I was truly honoured to join the Gujarati Mandal of Calgary for the opening of their Navratri celebrations — an evening filled with colour, music, and community spirit.

Grateful for the warm welcome and the reminder of how vibrant Calgary’s cultural life truly is.

A Youth Volunteer Corps is very intriguing. Volunteering with my parents and my friends was what set me on a path for a lifetime of community involvement.

Jeromy Farkas @jeromyyyc.bsky.social · 10d

I’ve been listening to young Calgarians — the message is clear: housing, transit, safety, and jobs matter.

My Built for Tomorrow plan responds with steps like a Youth Council, entrepreneurship spaces, and summer jobs.

Thank you to Calgary Firefighters Association for hosting us today. I was grateful to listen to the challenges you face as first responders and the ways in which we can have your backs when you always have Calgarians'.
