Today, Calgarians came together at The Confluence to mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day. We remember the children who never came home. We honour Survivors, their families and their communities.

We need to talk about what the Province is doing to our firefighters. Calgary is being shortchanged on healthcare, leaving firefighters to pick up the slack. They responded to 5,941 overdose calls in 7 months. Calgary is ready to work together. After seven years, we need the Province at the table.

A safer, stronger Calgary starts with getting the basics right. The new 2.4 km Sunnyside Flood Barrier is finished and ready to protect Sunnyside and Hillhurst from a 1-in-100 year flood. Since 2013, our flood work has cut Calgary’s flood risk by about 70%.

I ran for Mayor saying Calgary should lead a strong, united Canada. Now it's time to follow through. Separation threatens investment, jobs, and the confidence of newcomers who chose Calgary home. That's why I'm asking Council to stand up for Calgary's future within a strong Alberta and Canada.

This week, Council held our Indigenous Focus Meeting, 10 years after the White Goose Flying Report. We’ve made progress. But there is much more work ahead. I was gifted the Blackfoot name "Pitaasiksyinom," or "Black Eagle." I carry that name with serious gratitude and responsibility.

Trump's economic war could add nearly half a billion dollars to Calgary's costs, or equal to a 12-18% property tax increase in one year. Coun. Pantazopoulos brought forward a solution: return municipal tariff costs to the cities paying them. This is a fight Canada must face together.

If someone is being paid to influence a major City decision, Calgarians deserve to know. Calgary has grown up as a city, and it's time our transparency rules caught up. That's why, with Councillors Atkinson, Clark, and Schmidt, we are bringing forward a motion to pursue a lobbyist registry.
