It's very frustrating that the @calgary.ca continues to send a message to visually impaired people that they are invisible &that whether or not they get sick doesn't matter. I find it bizarre they are so intent at not using ALT text that they choose to degrade the visually impaired #Inclusion #YycCc
Amid all the debate about Calgary's CTrain free fare zone, one question has remained murky. Not many cities offer free LRT downtown. Why do we? The Sprawl dug into it... #yyccc
I miiiiight have gone a tad overboard with this week's Sprawl dispatch. No regrets though! A deep dive on the forgotten origins of Calgary's CTrain free fare zone. #yyccc
Boil water advisory for parts of Ward 8 in Rosscarrock and Westbrook Mall.
Water services have been restored but the boil water remains in effect until pipe flushing is completed.
Water wagons are on their way.

If I were advising Calgary City Council, I’d be telling them to foster relationships with other municipalities, having the best policy folks digging in to the minutiae of the province’s levers within the MGA and finding out what City intergovernmental affairs’ favourite treats are #yyc #yyccc
A screenshot of the tweet in the post
The City of Calgary dismantled Angel's Cafe and put it into storage until after the Bearspaw feeder main repairs are complete, at which time the building will be returned its original location.

One of the absolute joys of being a city councillor in #yyc was there were no parties. Peter Demong was one of my favourite people to work with. Under a party system I doubt that would have been true. Obviously, the public felt that was true as well. #yyccc
New research on Calgary's 2025 municipal election shows evidence that voters 'punished' party-affiliated candidates. #yyc #calgary #yyccc

Really proud of my friend’s daughter Anna for participating in SheGoverns in the role of mayor for mock City Council today. It seems like a super cool experience and I was honoured to be an advisor for another (temporary) mayor this week 😂🫶. She hit those key messages like a champion 💪 #yyc #yyccc
hey #yyccc We know the solutions. #justdoit
This carnage is a choice our city is making for convenience of drivers.
These results reflect what we saw anecdotally on the campaign trail. People never seemed warmed to the parties and we definitely highlighted the independence from parties along the way #yyccc

as we look at yet another new super suburban neighbourhood
I disagree we don’t need a study to understand we don’t have the capital. #YYCcc

A local nimby in my neighborhood is trying to raise $17K to do a traffic study to fight an H-GO development on Elbow Drive.... #yyccc
Dirty tricks on the upcoming #Housing vote in Calgary. If you don’t like being manipulated by well monied political actors/interlopers consider supporting genuine solutions to the #HousingCrisis at the upcoming public sessions. #yyccc #yyc
#DarkMoney group puts their thumb on the scale for the upcoming public sessions on #Housing, all the more reason to make sure your voice is heard at council. We can help. #yyc #yyccc
This is nuts Calgary!
"The proposed new community of "Providence" is being pitched to Calgary City Council as "a logical choice for sensible growth" despite over half a billion dollars in unfunded capital infrastructure investments required from taxpayers"

If nothing else such an initiative could raise awareness about our #WaterConservation needs during these times & even double up as an info sharing location. Just a thought Godspeed @calgary.ca @jeromyyyc.bsky.social @yuleloveyyc.bsky.social @mykeatkinson.bsky.social @natefor8.bsky.social #yyc #yyccc
No idea if this is feasible/impactful but on behalf of #yyc’s #ClimateChange & #bikeyyc communities if there were a water fill-up station along the bikepaths we could fill our water jugs at, I bet a lot of us would take you up on it. We’re a hearty sort & we care about helping this city #yyccc
EXCLUSIVE: Farkas wants Enmax to take over water utility from city hall officials. Also, he urges Enmax to sell its ridiculous misadventure in Maine. He'd use proceeds to pay for water projects. Column.

Care about #ClimateSmart cities, #Urbanism and all things #CityBuilding? Follow one of the worlds smartest Urbanists, your fellow Canadian @brenttoderian.bsky.social AND his new collab @urbantruth.bsky.social. It’s time we told (and SHARED) the Truth about how to build cities RIGHT #yyc #yyccc
"Some councillors say larger tax hikes will need to be on the table to pay for it" OR (hear me out) don't repeal blanket rezoning & density will help while preserving (or at least keeping at bay) current tax rates. #yyccc
Do share your feedback with council, in person, virtually or with a written statement. Ideally, #YYCcc won’t repeal until the HAF is paid out, the agreement times out in 2027. Absolutely affordable housing has increased, & more is earmarked to be developed.
