Stampede typically results in an increase in calls to @alphahouseyyc.bsky.social 's H.E.L.P. team (formerly DOAP). Help them out by knowing when to call - and when not to. Medical distress, someone unresponsive, suspected overdose, physical injury, crime in progress? Call 911.

There are always consequences to Council decisions. Today, with one vote, 7 Councillors voted down policy amendments that would have enabled more than 650 homes to be built. 650 homes for 650 families today. And countless more in the future. #yyccc #yyc

The City encourages riders to follow the Traveling in Winter guide. When snow detours are deactivated, information will go out through the media, calgarytransit.com, X/Twitter (where you at @calgarytransit.bsky.social ?) and the Transit App. www.calgarytransit.com/content/tran...

At 8pm tonight, Calgary Transit is implementing snow detours for specific routes to avoid stuck buses in hilly areas. Orange signs along most familiar detoured routes help indicate closed stops. The full list of detours is available here: www.calgarytransit.com/snowdetours

The Community Safety Investment Framework is not a flex spending account for the Calgary Police Commission. The decision to use CSIF funds to pay for a firearms range is unacceptable. This motion will protect community funding beyond 2025 & solve this problem for our partners.

On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we remember and honour transgender people who have lost their lives from transphobic violence and discrimination. Hate has no place in our communities. Learn about restrictive legislation being proposed in Alberta: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

As City services are stretched further - with dollars not going as far, and being drawn on by a growing population - we are seeing satisfaction with City services decline.

Calgary also performs very well when comparing our property taxes to other municipalities.

Calgary's property taxes have increased at a slower rate than other major Canadian cities.

Calgary's population is growing, meaning that existing funding for infrastructure and services is being used by more Calgarians. Inflation also impacts cities: our dollars don't go as far in purchasing the raw materials and services we need to build and maintain our city.

How will The City of Calgary fund this project?
Scotia Place was identified as a priority for The City of Calgary in 2019 and budget was set aside for the previous version of the project. The remaining funds will come from the Major Capital Projects Reserve, the Fiscal Stability Reserve and the Budget Savings Account Merged Reserve. No increase in municipal taxes will be required to fund the project and The City of Calgary will not be taking on any additional debt.
