Welcome
Calgary is an amazing city to call home with Ward 12 as one of the fastest growing and most promising.
As your Alderman, it's my mandate to work for you and the rest of Calgary by ensuring that Council is responsible with your tax dollars, by not spending where savings can be found and by managing the assets that The City owns while making the best use of those resources. It's my mandate to ensure that southeast Calgary will enjoy a direct transit link to downtown Calgary and to demonstrate open and transparent communication with Calgarians through a variety of channels.
"If you never ask 'how can we do this differently' we'll always get the same results."
