Ugh. Gutted to see this pop up in my feed. 😞.
ALERT: Emergency services are helping a cyclist involved in an incident on Wakefield Dr and Westwood Dr SW. Please go slow and watch for fellow Calgarians. #yyctraffic #yycroads.

😪.Very sad to hear of the death of another cyclist in our city. This continues to reiterate the need for *safe* infrastructure, not just paint. Sending love to family & friends impacted, while also deepening my commitment to rapidly building safer infrastructure if elected.

Given the escalating threats, it only seems relevant to re-extend my invite to @DevinDVote and @RickBellwrites to come for a ride along with me and my kiddo. For a gov't that complains so much about overreach, this is ironic. #StayInYourLane #yyccc.

The brand new Eau Claire Plaza has everything from a performance stage to green space and a misting feature. What’s missing? The Green Line station. #GreenLineYYC #YYCCC #YYC #EauClaire

Hey, #yyc - this isn't that far flung of an idea. In fact, with the support of Annie Gale, our first female alderman, the city had a municipally-run market which focused on local produce!.
My friend Rachel told me about @GetPublicGoods, which is basically a DTC Costco that’s been around since 2017. Neat model. I want a membership! Thank you so much to the Broadbent Institute for the opportunity to quickly sketch this out.

Calgary showed up at @confluence_yyc and across the river today. Thanks to all the volunteers who made the great programming a success!. #yyc
This Canada Day, let’s celebrate the beauty of our country while reflecting on the full history that shaped it. We honour the Indigenous Peoples who have stewarded these lands since time immemorial and acknowledge the injustices they continue to face.
