The City of Calgary is cutting red tape to make sure any interaction with us is better, easier and faster for our citizens, businesses and employees. This means transforming government and improving services to enable businesses and citizens to thrive in our great city.
Time and cost savings
Cutting red tape and streamlining processes provides many benefits for citizens, business and government but when it comes right down to it, the main objective is to save valuable money and time. Learn more about our savings (as of February 2013).
Making a difference
Removing unnecessary red tape has had positive impacts for our citizens, businesses and employees. Here’s how we are making a difference.

 Rob and Nancy have two children and lead an active lifestyle shuttling kids to and from swimming lessons, developing their basement and getting involved in their new community. They do not interact with The City on a regular basis but when they do they want the process to be simple, convenient and fit within their lifestyle.

 Renee recently completed her electrician apprenticeship through SAIT and has decided to start her own business. She had a lot to do to set up her new company and start paying off her school loans and earning a living.
