Happy Thanksgiving, Calgary!

Should Danielle Smith be able to order your local council to vote to approve rezoning for a massive AI data centre? And threaten to fire your democratically elected mayor if they vote against it? This latest provincial overreach isn't about density. It's about your legal right to a fair hearing.

If you live in southwest Calgary, getting to advance voting at Spruce Meadows isn't easy without a car. Our Calgary Transit team noticed the problem and stepped up with a shuttle. Proud of them for making voting easier! www.calgarytransit.com/news/spruce-...

With the latest provincial overreach, Danielle Smith is now ordering me how to vote at Calgary City Council. If I refuse, I risk losing my job. I want to work constructively with the province, even when we disagree. But we must be free to listen to residents and make fair decisions.

Threatening to murder Muslim children. Telling Muslim families to leave Canada. This is absolutely sickening. My heart is with the students, families and staff at MAC Islamic School. I'm grateful to the faith leaders standing shoulder to shoulder with Calgary's Muslim community today.

By the time we welcome our two-millionth neighbour, let's make Calgary the best city in Canada to be a volunteer. It's time to recognize Calgary's volunteers and voluntary sector as essential infrastructure. We have over 7,000 charities and nonprofits doing incredible work.

Antisemitism is rising, and we cannot wait for another attack before acting. Calgary must lead from the local level. An attack on any of us is an attack on all of us.

From 4,300 km on the Pacific Crest Trail to two packed nights back home, what a ride! We raised another $65,125 for Big Brothers Big Sisters Calgary, bringing the total to over $300,000! A giant THANK YOU to everyone who walked this journey with us.

I’m not going to lie to you, Calgary. Our water pipes are in piss poor condition. After a ten-year freeze on bills, we have to increase our water rates to prevent another catastrophe and make our system safe and reliable.

They preach "Alberta First" while promising the Americans our water, oil, and land. I joined Edmonton's Mayor Andrew Knack on CBC's Power & Politics to call out the hypocrisy of the Alberta separatist movement. You don’t defend Alberta by putting our province up for sale to the United States.

Jeromy Farkas @jeromyyyc.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

We need to talk about the separatists selling out our city and province. MAGA operatives came to Calgary to help carve up our country. Meanwhile, separatist leaders went to Washington promising our water, our oil, and our land. If you want to live in the United States, move to the United States.

Nothing like starting the morning in a room full of friends! Coun. Pantazopoulos and I recently joined Radiance Family Society’s Rise & Shine to talk about responsible leadership and building stronger workplaces and communities.

Jeromy Farkas @jeromyyyc.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Calgary City Council has taken a stand for a strong, united Canada. I joined Rosemary Barton to talk about why Councillor Yule and I brought forward our pro-Canada motion. Calgary has a lot to lose from separation and a lot to gain by sticking together.

I was thrilled to join Premier Danielle Smith, Transportation Minister Devin Dreeshen, and federal Minister for Prairies Economic Development Canada Eleanor Olszewski for an important step toward high-speed rail between Calgary and Edmonton.

On Orange Shirt Day, I was proud to announce that the Indigenous Gathering Place has found a permanent home at The Confluence. Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow and Elbow rivers meet, has been a place of gathering for Indigenous Peoples since time immemorial.

I looked into reports of the City removing some referendum signs. They made a mistake. While I don't direct staff and was not personally involved, I am genuinely sorry that our team got it wrong. The rules must apply equally to everyone, including people I disagree with.

Jeromy Farkas @jeromyyyc.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Calgary is growing fast, and we need more homes of all kinds. It was great to kick off Calgary’s 2026 Housing Summit, bringing nearly 500 leaders together to tackle our housing opportunities, strengthen partnerships and get more housing built.

Jeromy Farkas @jeromyyyc.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

City Hall School is back! It’s one of my favourite parts of being Mayor. I had a blast with the Grade 6 students from Louis Riel School. They came ready with great questions. No softballs either! The kids are alright!

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.

A new report puts a price tag on Alberta separation: up to 69,000 fewer Calgary jobs and a $9-billion annual hole in Alberta's finances. Calgary depends on trade, investment, and talent. We should be building that strength, not putting it at risk.

Got a workout in Sunday at the Hustle for the House! It was great to join so many runners raising money for Ronald McDonald House Alberta. Every step helps support families who need a place to stay while their child receives medical care. Thanks to everyone who volunteered and supported the cause!

Great to kick off Energy Disruptors: UNITE this week! Calgary is hosting 3,000 investors, entrepreneurs, policymakers and innovators for big conversations on AI, trade, geopolitics, energy security and what comes next.

It’s a long time coming, but construction of the Symons Valley Centre is underway! I was thrilled to join Councillor Jennifer Wyness and Public Library CEO Sarah Meilleur for the groundbreaking ceremony. Thanks to both for their hard work in making it happen.

High-speed rail between Calgary and Edmonton is moving forward, and this is a big opportunity for our city. Let's connect our downtowns, grow our economic corridor and make sure Calgary's airport is part of the network. Alberta is growing. Let's build for it.

Jeromy Farkas @jeromyyyc.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

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%.

Jeromy Farkas @jeromyyyc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Our pivot away from blanket rezoning doesn’t mean building less housing. It means finding more ways to get homes built, and better using our exisiting infrastructure. I recently joined Coun. Clark to mark the redevelopment of Bridgeland Place.

One person can’t pull a plane. But a team sure can! The United Way Plane Pull is BACK after going dormant during COVID. Teams pulled together, moved one seriously heavy plane and raised money for Calgarians in need. That’s Calgary: when we pull together, big things move.

ECCO Landfill Fire Update- Sept 24 The Calgary Fire Department (CFD) continues suppression efforts at the ECCO Recycling facility landfill fire in southeast Calgary. The fire remains contained to the landfill site as crews continue working toward full extinguishment.

Jeromy Farkas @jeromyyyc.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

One of the best parts of being Mayor is recognizing Calgarians who step up. Theo is only six years old, but his quick thinking helped stop a potentially deadly fire. It was an honour for Council to recognize Theo and his proud mom and dad at City Hall. Calgary is proud of you, Theo!

UPDATE: Big progress on the Bearspaw South Feeder Main! 80% of the new steel pipe is now installed. Crews have been working since January and we remain on track to have the new feeder main in service by the end of the year.

Calgary City Council voted for a strong, united Canada. Now I’m taking that message to Alberta’s municipal leaders. We have far more to gain by working together than by pulling apart. Calgary is proud to be Albertan, proud to be Canadian, and ready to help lead.

Jeromy Farkas @jeromyyyc.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

We are proud Albertans. We are proud Canadians. And Calgary is stronger as part of a united Canada. Thank you to my Council colleagues for supporting this motion and sending a clear message about Calgary’s future.

Thrilled to help open the first Research Day at Kids Cancer Care! I got a behind-the-scenes look at the incredible work supporting kids through cancer, from education to staying active. Thank you to the volunteers, parents, staff and board who make it possible.

What happened to Parker Wells is heartbreaking. Our review found serious failures in how the 911 calls were handled, causing a delay of about 17 minutes. As mayor, I am deeply sorry. Disciplinary action has been taken. We are making changes, and we have to own this.

Jeromy Farkas @jeromyyyc.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

UPDATE: Thank you to Council for agreeing to hear our pro-Canada motion as urgent business, and to Councillor Yule for co-sponsoring. The motion as asks Council to affirm Calgary's place as a vital part of Alberta and Canada. Debate happens later today.

Jeromy Farkas @jeromyyyc.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

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.

Great to attend the Calgary Police Service Regimental Ball with colleagues Coun. McLean and Chabot, recognizing the officers who serve our city every day. Calgary stands with our police. Thank you to every CPS member and family for your service, sacrifice and commitment to keeping our city safe.

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.

Alberta separation could hammer Calgary families with $5,500 more in taxes plus $5,500 less in income for a typical worker. Talk to your neighbours and get involved. Calgary cannot afford to sit this one out.

CPS District 8 just took nearly 2 kg of cocaine, meth, hundreds of pills, three firearms, ammunition, and more than $46k in cash off Calgary streets. This came after three months of police work sparked by two overdose death investigations. Great work by CPS.

Jeromy Farkas @jeromyyyc.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Calgary Police have been making good progress against the extortion and shootings terrorizing members of our community. So far: 51 incidents, 19 shootings, 19 people charged with 59 offences. Thank you to CPS and everyone coming forward. We will keep pushing to hold these offenders accountable.

Jeromy Farkas @jeromyyyc.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Thanks to your help, we saved Calgary's downtown Free Fare Zone. For now. Transit is looking for a sponsor, and I hope they find one. But keeping this service shouldn't depend on one. Sponsor or no sponsor, I'll keep fighting to make the Free Fare Zone permanent.
