Why Calgary matters

Why Calgary matters

Calgary matters in the 2021 Federal Election.

Calgary has long been the economic engine of Canada. In 2019, Calgary contributed $126 billion to Canada’s economic value. For this to continue – and it must continue – we need support from the Federal Government to create a new future and compete in a modern, global economy.
