The vote on citywide rezoning has ended.

Below is an excerpt of my debate before the vote, where I spoke about what we heard, who we didn't hear, and why we must focus on the future.

Growth isn’t optional — it’s already happening. Time to move forward together.

This is deeply personal for all of us. It's about where we call home or where we aspire to call home.

It's about our shared challenges in every neighbourhood and every kitchen table, which is why we must remain focused on solutions for the future growth of our City 2/

Today the Public Hearing on City-Wide Rezoning concluded.

I appreciated the thoughtful, and heartfelt input that came from Calgarians across our city and tomorrow brings questions, debate, and amendments.

Understanding the proposed citywide zoning change Calgary City Council is considering a bylaw that would bring back the low-density residential zones that existed in the land use bylaw prior to the citywide rezoning approved by Council in May 2024.

Day 5 of the sequel to the Public Hearing on Rezoning resumes in about an hour.

If you want to speak, you can call or come in person, no need to register.

Be sure to do so today - the earlier the better as the hearing may close with no more speakers.

Let’s reset our green streak and get back on track! Yesterday’s water demand was 506 million litres (ML), putting us in the risky red zone.

Every shortened shower and every full load of laundry and dishes helps take the pressure off our system while the feeder main reinforcement continues.

Day 1 of Council's Public Hearing is done and I'm reminded of the first day of Budget hearings from last November. Listening, engaging, learning from Calgarians.

And like that day, I'm back where I started: waiting for the CTrain on my journey home.

See you bright and early for day 2 #yyc #yyccc

💧Sunday Update – A hidden win for us!
While we were technically in the red zone at 504 million litres (ML), 5 ML of that was actually used to refill a section of the feeder main. This means that YOU only used 499 ML. Keep up the great work!
