I was happy to visit the ongoing construction of the new Glenbow at the J.R. Shaw Centre for Arts and Culture, on Monday afternoon. Seeing firsthand the hard work that has gone into creating Calgary’s next great cultural hub was inspiring.

On Jan. 11, our water use was 505 ML, putting us in the unsustainable zone. We still need your help to save water.
Keep taking action like skipping flushes, washing full loads only and limiting showers to 3 minutes.

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.

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.

Tonight I and other council members became aware via social media and media reporting that a water main break had occurred in northwest Calgary not far from where the Bearspaw Feeder Main break occurred last year. Currently we await more information and the next steps taken to address this issue.

Partnerships have become something that differentiates this council. I was happy to attend the @BILDCR holiday party with my council colleagues Kim Tyers and Mike Jamieson in that sprit.
Finding longterm sensible solutions to put neighbours into Ward 4 homes begins with these conversations.

I was pleased to attend Calgary Police Service recruit class 265 this afternoon. These men, women, and even new canine officers all chose public service to make Calgarians safer, and I applaud them for that choice.

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.

After 23 days the budget is complete and council has delivered some big wins for Calgarians. We managed to reduce the tax increase to 1.6 per cent, which is below the inflation rate, while actually increasing services delivered to transit and recreation users. 1/2
