Ward 4 Calgary City Councillor-type guy. Blue Jays fan.
I was pleased to attend the groundbreaking of the first ever hotel to be built on Stampede Park. As a board member for CMLC, I am excited to see how CMLC, the Calgary Stampede, Truman, and Marriott develop this new 320-key Autograph Collection hotel into a destination alongside the BMO Centre.

I ask the question of how serious should council be taking the third party review of Calgary's water system, and the independent panel agrees it's a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10.
This is why we as a council can't pass the buck. We need to fix this for Calgarians.

There is a smarter way forward for the governance of Calgary’s water supply.
We will address this current water main break and those to come, but I believe it is also time to think about what the future looks like to avoid the missteps of the past.

Yesterday, Calgarians consumed 510 Megalitres of water, exceeding the sustainable limit of 485 Megalitres per day.
To prevent depleting reserves crucial for firefighting, cut shower times to under 3 minutes, flush toilets sparingly, and only run full loads of laundry and dishes.

Hey Neighbour!
It’s the first regular day back at City Hall for 2026, and the agenda is packed: save water to build reserves for firefighting, review the 2024 water‑crisis report, reply to messages from neighbours, plan council priorities for the next four years, and attend community meetings.

The boil water advisory has ended, and
The broken pipe is out of the ground!
A good day, but we still need to continue conserving water, and get a new pipe segment installed, tested, etc.

UPDATE #11 - 8am Jan 2, 2026. THANK-YOU, CALGARY! We stepped up to conserve water, and it made a real difference. We’re now back in the sustainable zone—but we’re not out of the woods yet. Please keep conserving as crews continue their work. Latest details are here: www.calgary.ca/emergencies/...

Take a tour with me of where the breaks on the Bearspaw Water Main have occurred and what work has done to repair the pipe over the past two years as I give up an update on what is being done to fix the current water crisis.

Happy New Year, Calgary!
Ironically, the park next to the Emergency Operations Centre provided an excellent view of the fireworks last night.
We rang in the New Year by successfully helping someone reunite with their runaway dog.
Here's to a successful 2026 for you and yours!

Over the next 24 hours the City of Calgary will continue the work towards draining the Bearspaw Feeder Main so that excavation work can be undertaken to remove the section that broke on Dec. 30. That section will be taken for investigation, but there is no definitive timeline.

I am shocked by today’s police-involved shooting on the Dalhousie LRT footbridge. Grateful no officers or public were hurt and the individual survived. ASIRT is investigating. Thank you to Calgary Police and Peace Officers for keeping Calgarians safe.

The number one thing I heard at the doors during the campaign was repeal citywide rezoning and today I supported doing that with my vote.
The hard work to build better will come in March during the public hearing process and I encourage Calgarians to reach out with their ideas.

I was thrilled to attend the annual Santa Claus parade in Huntington Hills tonight to share the spirit of Christmas during the countdown to Dec. 25.
The evening was made complete with Santa giving out toys to all of the children at the parade. A perfect example of the generosity of Calgarians.
