Jennifer's Record

You’ve spoken, and we’ve listened. Here are some of the key issues and projects you’ve asked us to tackle to make our city a better place. You can read my full voting record here.

Bringing a Library to Symons Valley

I secured funding and prioritization for the new Symons Valley Library, ensuring northwest residents finally get the local library they’ve long been asking for. This new branch will bring a community hub close to home for families in Evanston, Kincora, Nolan Hill, and Sage Hill. Watch for project updates by clicking the link below.

$.5 Million for Symons Valley Park

I championed the effort to bring $500,000 in City funding for Symons Valley Park. This investment not only supports the creation of a much-needed community hub in the northwest, but also strengthens the park’s ability to access matching grants.

$280,000 for Community Associations

In April, I brought forward a motion that secured an additional $280,000 in funding for the Ward Community Event Fund. This means each Ward now has $20,000 per year to support CAs with their events.

Graphic Flyers

In response to resident concerns from the harm caused by inappropriate images delivered to our community’s front doors, I put forward a motion to regulate the distribution of graphic images, which passed 14-0.

Fiscal Responsibility

I voted against the last three budgets because of additional tax increases that did not improve affordability and City services for Calgarians, and were not aligned with our core municipal responsibilities.

Fire Services Budget

I brought a motion to better support our fire department by clarifying the investment needed to improve our response times and staffing levels. This motion passed 12-2.

Electric Vehicles

I introduced a motion to reallocate funding from EV buses to compressed natural gas buses, due to our inability to purchase EV buses. Unfortunately this amendment failed with a 6-9 vote.

Capital Projects Website

I worked with The City to create a website for Calgarians to track ongoing infrastructure projects, improving transparency.

Blue Lights on Firetrucks

I worked with the province to allow firetrucks to use blue lights on their vehicles, improving visibility and safety.
