Answer
Calgarians want a City that works - a city where our communities, infrastructure, and public spaces reflect a sense of pride, opportunity and culture. Last year, we welcomed nearly 100,000 new Calgarians to live and work in our city. Supporting this level of growth requires a City Hall that can provide and manage essential services crucial to the daily lives of Calgarians, while maintaining a high standard of service delivery. This means:
- Delivering reliable services - Calgarians expect the basics to work--and they deserve a city where essential services are reliable and efficient. From well-maintained roads to cleared snow, we’ll ensure daily life runs smoothly for all. Infrastructure isn’t just about fixing potholes; it’s about creating safe, reliable, and livable spaces that people can trust. When these essentials are handled effectively, it allows our city to thrive and ensures that every Calgarian can go about their day with confidence.
- Creating vibrant public spaces - Creating vibrant public spaces is about more than just parks and plazas—it’s about building the heart and soul of Calgary. These spaces are where communities come together, cultures meet, and new Calgarians discover all the opportunity this city has to offer. They are powerful catalysts for change and innovation, providing us with the platform to reimagine everything from sustainable infrastructure to safer neighbourhoods, while sparking deeper community connections and engagement. By investing in these shared spaces, we invest in the future of our city.
- Investing in resilient infrastructure - Calgary’s recent water crisis is a stark reminder of the urgent need to keep our infrastructure up to date. The cost of regular maintenance pales in comparison to the financial and social toll of emergency shutdowns or disasters, which can affect our communities. For a growing city like Calgary, investing in resilient infrastructure is not just smart planning—it’s essential for ensuring that our communities continue to thrive and that we can meet the needs of both current and future residents.
To build a city that works for everyone, we must prioritize smart planning, reliable services, and vibrant spaces. The Calgary Party is committed to ensuring that as our city grows, we maintain the quality of life that makes Calgary an exceptional place to live. Together, we can build a more connected, resilient, and thriving Calgary for generations to come.
