Ward 4 Calgary City Councillor-type guy. Blue Jays fan.
Two more preventible deaths on our city roads have left me heartbroken for those families.
This traffic safety crisis is ours to solve. Every death is preventable. Please slow down. Put away the phone. Watch for pedestrians. No destination is worth a life.
Let's make Vision Zero real for Calgary.

I was pleased to recognize the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Fire Horse in Council Chambers today. I wish everyone prosperity for 2026, and I look forward to seeing neighbours at celebrations over the next two weeks.

I had a great time attending the Beddington Heights Winter Carnival with my Ward 4 staff. We loved giving out candy, Calgary Fire Department colouring books, and lots of City of Calgary information to neighbours on Family Day.

Yesterday, Cllr. Chabot and I joined our City of Calgary colleagues at the Manchester fleet and inventory buildings to learn about these essential City services. I was pleased to see partnerships and innovation (they've even created a few patents) are delivering efficient services to Calgarians.

Today I had the privilege of showing some of our local teachers around Calgary’s Council Chambers during a break in the teachers convention. Learning about the democratic process is an important part of Alberta’s curriculum, and I was happy to help make those lessons real.

It's always a good day at City Hall when one of the staff brings in their new puppy and we share the joy of a new pet having found their furever home. I would encourage everyone to adopt their next pet at the City's Animal Services. www.calgary.ca/pets/adoptio....

I am devastated to hear about the mass shooting that occurred at a High School in Tumbler Ridge, B.C. As a father of two it is simply unimaginable that I would not see my children at the end of their school day. My sympathy and my thoughts are with the families in their time of grief.

4 Street and 42 Avenue NW, and Charleswood Drive and 26 Street NW were the two locations chosen by the neighbours of Ward 4 for the next two locations for flashing crosswalk lights. And I'm taking your other suggestions to the City's mobility team for more improvements.

I was happy to invite former Ward 4 alderman Bob Hawkesworth back to his old office after meeting with the Calgary Alliance for the Common Good. It was great to reminisce about how even though council has changed–as has the furniture–we both serve the neighbours of Ward 4.

Chinook Blast is back for another year, and the lineup at the newly completed Eau Claire Plaza is bigger and better than ever. I encourage everyone to visit Calgary's premiere winter festival to take in music, shopping, lights, arts and culture, and more until February 16.

Big thank you to Triwood for their donations towards the Calgary Food Bank Councillor's Challenge. Not pictured here are the literal crates of juices that the Triwood team contributed. Their support, and your support, is making a real difference against food insecurity in Ward 4.

One of the committees I knew I had to lead after being elected to council was Calgary Salutes. Public service, to me, means stepping forward, helping others and taking responsibility for the community you belong to—something the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces do every day.
