Business Sector Support task force

The City of Calgary working with City Councillors, partners and business stakeholders from various industries has created a Business Sector Support task force. We are working to:

  • Serve as a conduit to the business community to share their immediate needs.
  • Make recommendations on short and medium-term solutions to support businesses and advocacy to provincial and federal governments.
  • Advise on, and implement, ongoing communications to various types of businesses; marketing strategies to immediately support businesses; and communications to Calgarians regarding business support.

We encourage you to provide feedback when contacted to and share our updates within your networks to help support our local business and economy.
