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.

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 · 6d

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'.

"It’s a reminder that democracy works best when candidates are on the ground, engaged, and willing to do the hard work face to face." If you're campaigning right, it's tiring and meaningful stuff... even with a postal strike. calgaryherald.com/news/postal-...

Postal strike raises alarms ahead of Calgary municipal election

A nationwide postal strike is raising concerns about voter turnout and accessibility ahead of Calgary’s municipal election.

It’s a special gift to run for mayor in your home town. To be able to share in the hopes and dreams of your neighbours—and then work with them to make it all a reality.

Our campaign has brought together passionate people with incredible expertise from across the city and every walk of life.
