April Newsletter, 2026

As we head into spring, there is a lot happening across Ward 2. This month’s update shares a few practical reminders and opportunities, along with information that may affect your household over the coming weeks.

Ongoing water restrictions

Calgary remains under water restrictions as crews continue to reinforce the Bearspaw feeder main. These restrictions are in place to protect the city’s water supply while repairs wrap up, expected to conclude early this month and resume in the fall. Until then, residents are asked to continue limiting non‑essential water use and to follow any indoor and outdoor conservation measures currently in effect. Be sure to keep up-to-date on restrictions this year at calgary.ca/restrictions.

Help shape Calgary’s four-year budget

The City is asking residents to share their input as work begins on the 2027–2030 Business Plans and Budgets. This four-year budget helps determine how funding is allocated to City services many of us rely on every day.

You can participate by completing a short online survey or attending one of 14 pop-up events across the city. To learn more or get involved, visit calgary.ca/budget.

Safe parking around schools helps keep kids safe

How and where we park near schools matters. Parking too close to corners, blocking driveways, or stopping where it is not allowed can reduce visibility and make drop-off and pickup times more dangerous.

Safe parking also means following signs, leaving space at corners, and choosing legal parking, even if it means walking a little farther.

Small parking choices can make a big difference. Learn more at calgaryparking.com/schoolpatrol.

As always, my office is open if you have any questions or concerns. You can reach us at Ward2@Calgary.ca. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
