Imagine having a City Councillor who regularly rides transit to work.
Imagine no longer Calgary! 👇

It's the first big snow of winter 2025 which means we're all remembering how this works.
However travel, take your time and arrive safely.
I'm thankful to have transportation options like the CTrain to get to work as we enter day 1 budget week - the public hearing 1/

Today, I proclaimed Transgender Day of Remembrance in Calgary. We honour those we’ve lost, and we stand with resolve for a city where everyone can live safely and authentically. We will keep fighting for every person’s right to be who they are: openly, proudly, and without fear. #yyccc

Remembrance Day is deeply personal for me. My grandfather served as a Flight Lieutenant in WW2 in the Royal Canadian Airforce and flew patrols off the coast of Newfoundland protecting ships from attack.
Later in the War, he trained pilots in the Commonwealth Training Plan in Southern Alberta 1/

Lest We Forget.
Today I had the honour of laying a wreath and speaking for Remembrance Day at Legion 289 in Killarney.
We recognized the service of our armed forces members and the sacrifices they've made throughout our history 1/

Yesterday was the big day - I was sworn in as Ward 8 City Councillor along with my Councillor colleagues and Mayor Farkas.
This is a huge opportunity and responsibility to serve Ward 8 and all Calgarians - a position I received because of you, which I will remember every day.
Onwards!

“You can now BBM Calgary Transit for arrival times.”
I was pursuing a Myspace-focused strategy but this seems much better.
Just kidding though. I bet we can do something to make this happen!

Hey Ward 8 - let's paint the town Nate (for 8).
Get your civic duty done today and let's hope the results are favourable and the Jays are victorious.
Oh and also that we have Nate in Ward 8.

Last day, second to last knock. We have the momentum and the will to win. We did politics differently, presented ideas, and stayed positive, because we believe in our future and you do too.
So, get your writing hand warmed up and VOTE VOTE VOTE tomorrow.

Municipal Christmas (voting day) is only 2 sleeps away.
On election day, you vote at your designated polling station based on address.
Don’t let your Municipal Christmas gift (democracy) go to waste. Vote at the right place!
Our gift is this handy map to show you where to vote 1/

Throughout this campaign, I’ve had the pleasure of working with awesome volunteers.
Rain, snow, sun and wind, they’ve knocked doors and together we've met so many people across Ward 8 who care about Calgary.
To everyone who has helped us over the last 7 months, thank you!

Ward 8 - Monday is a big day for the future of Calgary.
I believe our future is bright and think you do too.
Last weekend was cold with turkey on the table, but we had a full crew spreading the word.
We all want a positive vision for Calgary - which is why YOU NEED TO VOTE 1/

This municipal election is important - the next four years will shape issues like housing, affordability, transit, public safety, and even our local democracy.
That's why I'm running as an independent candidate with a vision to move us forwards, not backwards, and it's why you must vote 1/ #yyc

This is my wife Katrina.
I haven't mentioned her much - she's not a huge fan of the limelight.
But she is a quiet force of nature.
She keeps me honest, asks tough questions, and is an advocate herself for women, nature, and our neighbourhood.
Let's show Katrina some love!

Finding common ground in politics is hard.
That's why I'm grateful for Dave Cree's Ward 8 endorsement.
We want to move Calgary forward by lifting people up - regardless of identity, income, or background.
Now is our chance to tell the province we value independent municipal leaders.
