Last week, about 2,000 Calgary students took part in the Mayor’s Environment Expo! This free, annual event, now in its 37th year, is designed to inspire the next generation of environmental leaders.

The Province just imposed the biggest property tax increase in Calgary history, and it shows up on your City tax bill. Calgary's increase: 1.2%. Province's increase: 21% this year, nearly 60% in four years. It's time for the provincial government to send their own tax bill.

It was a pleasure to stop by the 5th Annual Sunrise District Teddy Bears Picnic with Girl Guides of Canada. Great to meet Canada's Mini Miss! Thanks to our Police Service and Fire Department for helping make it such a fun community event.

Events like this do real work. Public awareness shortens the gap between when someone gets into trouble and when they call for help. The Calgary area teams run some of the busiest backcountry SAR in Canada.

Spent the day wandering the Lilac Festival with members of the Mayor's Youth Council. One of my favourite parts of this job is meeting people where they're at, hearing their stories, and seeing the energy that makes Calgary special. Thanks to Calvin Tan for capturing the day!

Calgary's future is connected to the success of cities across Canada. Canada's Big City Mayors' Caucus is tackling housing affordability, public safety, infrastructure, economic growth, and stronger downtowns. Proud to represent Calgary and help build a stronger Canada.

It was great to stop by the 4th Annual Calgary Search and Rescue Outdoor Show. I've attended as a vendor in past years with Glenbow Ranch, and it was nice to be back and see the event continue to grow. Thanks to the volunteers, exhibitors, and rescue teams who help keep outdoor adventures safe.

I took on Stairs of Strength in support of the Calgary Military Family Resource Centre. It was a tough climb, but nothing compared to the sacrifices military members and their families make every day. Thanks to our Fire Department for the gear and to everyone who helped make this event a success.

As the Mayors of Alberta’s largest cities, we are standing up against the referendum for a referendum and encouraging Albertans to vote this October.

I had a great time dropping by the North Trail High School Spring Carnival with Councillor Yule. It was wonderful to see so many students, families, staff, and volunteers bringing the school community together. Thanks to Calvin Tan for capturing the day and sharing these great photos!

via @CityofCalgary To keep water flowing for Calgarians, the feeder main needs to be big enough – but how big are we talking about? Darren Finney (Manager, Major Projects, Utilities Delivery) shares the answer. To learn more and to stay up to date on the project visit calgary.ca/bearspawfeedermain

A big thank you to Mac MacKenny and the team at Homeplace Ranch for the riding lessons. Councillors Chabot, McLean and I are getting ready for Stampede. As a first-time rider in the Stampede Parade, I was grateful for the expert coaching and patience!

It's Seniors' Week, a chance to recognize the Calgarians who helped build this city and strengthen our communities. I enjoyed spending time at the Silvera Scholars Conference at TELUS Spark and thanking some of the people whose hard work and dedication helped make Calgary what it is today.

Privileged to attend the 35th Annual Paperny Family JCC Sports Dinner. Our Jewish community has helped shape Calgary's story for generations through leadership, entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and service. Thanks to all who made this evening possible and Kevin Pillar for sharing his inspiring story!

Alberta separatists say they'd clamp down on immigration and limit social services for new residents. Calgary Mayor @jeromyyyc.bsky.social corrects the record on what new Canadians contribute to the province. Thoughts? 👀 FULL: rtrj.info/060526Farkas 🎧: rtrj.info/060526 #yyc #abpoli #RealTalkRJ

Quote: "Transit is not just a social service. It is economic infrastructure." Please note this @calgarytransit.com & @calgary.ca. If I recall, @jeromyyyc.bsky.social & @mykeatkinson.bsky.social both said something like this during the free fare zone debate, debacle, and deferred decision.

On June 1, 2026, Councillor Yule and I met with Blackfoot Confederacy Chiefs and representatives of the Blackfoot Confederacy Tribal Council at City Hall, reaffirming the strong and growing relationship between the Blackfoot Confederacy & the City of Calgary. blackfootconfederacy.ca/blackfoot-co...

Calgary succeeds when Canada succeeds. Meeting today with mayors from across the country today to tackle housing, affordability, public safety, and jobs. The path forward isn't separation. It's building stronger communities and a stronger country.

A pleasure to attend the Calgary Chamber of Commerce AGM and help swear in new Chair Scott Wenger. Calgary’s business community plays a vital role in building a stronger, more prosperous city. Thank you to outgoing Chair Jason Hatcher for your leadership, service, and commitment to Calgary.

Happy Pride Month, Calgary. Pride began as a protest. It was a demand for equal rights, equal treatment, and equal dignity. Every gain was earned by people who refused to stay silent in the face of discrimination and hate.

Spring rains like this make many of us, especially in southern Alberta, nervous about flooding. The risk appears low at the moment, but that can change in an instant. Stay informed! Mayor @jeromyyyc.bsky.social is sharing updates as they come, and you can sign up for AEMA emergency alerts here:

Meaningful to spend time with my Council colleagues at Brown Bagging for Calgary's Kids. As our city grows, so does our responsibility to ensure every child has the support they need to thrive. Thank you to the volunteers, staff, and supporters making a difference for Calgary families!

Great to drop in at the Alley Oop Mid-Season Shootout, Canada's largest basketball tournament. Calgary was packed with future stars this weekend! Thanks to the athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers, and families who made it happen.

Great to attend the Tech Futures Challenge hosted by MindFuel. Inspiring to see students tackling real-world challenges in AI, robotics, energy, and health innovation. Calgary and Canada’s future is brighter with young builders, creators, and problem-solvers leading the way.

Great to join the Social Policy Collaborative for dialogue on Calgary’s biggest challenges. From housing and transit affordability to mental health and community safety, hearing directly from frontline organizations helps shape better decisions.

E-cargo bikes can help families cut the miles they drive their cars in half. What is holding them back? Safe infrastructure. Check out the study here -> www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @jeromyyyc.bsky.social @natefor8.bsky.social @djkelly.ca

Great to attend last night's Brava Tour Concert and celebrate these talented young women before they head to Spain. The Calgary Girls Choir continues to inspire through music, leadership, and friendship. Calgary is proud of you. Safe travels and make Canada proud!

Huge thanks to everyone who helped me blast past my $5,000 fundraising goal. Every dollar supports Wellspring and families facing cancer. If you're looking to support a great cause, please consider backing my friend Dr. Patrick Baillie: give.wellspring.ca/fundraisers/...

Calgary’s best future is in Canada. It was great to join business leaders, City Council, and Administration at the Calgary Chamber’s Builders & Leaders reception to discuss growth, investment, and opportunity. We’re building a city that welcomes newcomers and competes with the best in the world.

River levels are expected to rise this weekend as mountain snowmelt and rainfall increase flows on the Bow and Elbow Rivers. No flooding is expected, but a boating advisory is in effect and some pathway closures are likely. Thank you to City crews monitoring conditions around the clock.

Excited to attend the groundbreaking for the Olympic Plaza Transformation. For decades, this has been one of Calgary's most iconic public spaces, hosting celebrations, festivals, and memories that span generations. Today marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the heart of our downtown!

At our meeting this week, we had the opportunity to recognize Chief Operating Officer Stuart Dalgleish as he prepares to retire after 37 years of service to The City of Calgary.

Big thanks to Kirsten and the countless team members, volunteers, and sponsors who supported the 2026 Servus Calgary Marathon. Was a blast to help kick off the race and hand out medals at the 10k. Huge congrats to everyone and I'm looking forward to joining you on the course next year!

Just heading into day two of Council with a quick update after some important decisions last night focused on making Calgary safer.

Eid al-Adha Mubarak to Calgary’s Muslim community and all those celebrating. As families and friends gather in prayer, reflection, and generosity, I want to thank Muslim Calgarians for the many ways you strengthen our city through service, compassion, and community.

Great to spend time with Mr. Joseph’s Grade 6 class at Chaparral School last week. These students are already thinking hard about their city and our future. Thanks for the warm welcome!

Proud to be joined by my Council colleagues to proclaim National Accessibility Week in Calgary. As our city grows toward two million people, building a city where everyone can move freely, participate fully, and belong is both the right thing to do and essential city-building.

Mayor @jeromyyyc.bsky.social proclaiming National AcesssAbility Week in Calgary, receiving the Ally Award, and raising the Disability Pride Flag with the community and all City Council. Access 4 All!

I’ve heard from Calgarians deeply concerned about the AISH and ADAP changes. For some, that means about $200 less each month for rent, groceries, or medication. Council has formally raised concerns with the province. Albertans with disabilities deserve stability, dignity, and opportunity.

Great to attend APEGA Science Olympics and see Calgary's future engineers, geoscientists, and problem-solvers in action. So much creativity, teamwork, and grit in one room. Huge credit to the students, teachers, families, and volunteers making STEM come alive.

Great to stop in at Rundle Academy and spend time with students and staff doing important work every day. Every young person learns differently, and schools that help students build confidence, skills, and a sense of possibility make a real difference in our city’s future.

Delighted to attend Otafest last week. Where else do Demon Slayers, Sailor Scouts, Saiyans, and every kind of Calgarian come together? Calgary is stronger when people have space to show up exactly as they are and find their people. Thanks to Stephanie and volunteers for the tour!

WOW, Calgary. In less than 24 hours, you’ve helped us raise nearly $5,000 for Wellspring Alberta as I take on the Challenge the Chief Firefighter Stairclimb. Let's support first responders, people living with cancer, and their families. Just $269 from the goal: give.wellspring.ca/fundraisers/...

Behind the scenes from our training for the Firefighter Stairclimb. Once a week, our team climbs the Bow Tower three times. That’s 171 floors total. A tough workout, and still only a small glimpse into the grit first responders bring. To donate: give.wellspring.ca/fundraisers/...

So close, Calgary! I need your help to raise $5k for cancer care for firefighters. I'm racing Calgary Fire Chief Steve Dongworth up all 57 floors of Brookfield Place... in full gear! All proceeds go to Wellspring and to ensure no one faces cancer alone. give.wellspring.ca/fundraisers/...

Great to visit Halpern Akiva Academy this week. Had a thoughtful conversation with students about community safety, leadership, and what it takes to build a city where people feel safe and connected.

Had to make an important stop between school visits this week. I’m officially declaring Boogie’s my top burger spot in Calgary. Think I’m wrong? Make your case!

I was delighted to return to Saint Damien School in Dover, where I attended school as a kid, and spend time with some incredibly sharp students. So special to be back, now as mayor, in east Calgary where my story began.

Don't talk smack about my bus!
