Great to host community leaders from the Chinatown Working Group. We talked investment, safety, dedicated resources, and strong programming to bring the cultural plan to life. Chinatown’s history matters, and its future does too. We’re committed to supporting a vibrant, welcoming district for all.

I was joined by community leaders today to proclaim February as Black History Month. Here & across Canada, we celebrate the achievements, culture, and leadership of Black communities, past & present. We also recognize the ongoing work to confront racism, remove barriers, and ensure we all belong.

We’ve arrived on Bluesky! No fare needed, just follow along for service updates, tips, and a peek at how we keep Calgary moving. #CTRiders

Mayor @jeromyyyc.bsky.social strongly supporting Reconciliation in action and sharing his own journey at the opening of the Holy Gathering Place at The Confluence.

I'm stoked!

Mayor @jeromyyyc.bsky.social helping to preview this year's Chinook Blast – Calgary's Winter Festival. He may be a self-proclaimed "winter wimp" (I don't believe it) but we agree that everything about Chinook Blast is so exciting. See you there starting Jan. 30. www.chinookblast.ca

Thanks to everyone who conserved water over the past two weeks ❤️! Effective immediately, all water restrictions have been lifted for the city of Calgary, Airdrie, Chestermere, Strathmore and Tsuut’ina Nation.

Farkas says the replacement project can't be sitting in a binder somewhere, he says it needs to be Calgary's "civic mission."

NEW: Operations at City of Calgary aquatic centres and ice rinks will return to normal. CEMA chief Henry says steam rooms will reopen this morning, and hot tubs/kiddie pools are being filled and will be open tomorrow. Shouldice Aquatic Centre will open Monday.

"Thank you!" Mayor @jeromyyyc.bsky.social announcing that water restrictions are now lifted for Calgarians. Big thanks to Calgarians, @calgary.ca colleagues, businesses, and all partners who helped us through the Bearspaw water main break/repair.

Did you know small leaks can add up fast? 🚽 Toilets are the #1 source of household leaks 💦 The average household can lose up to 67 litres per day through leaks Small checks make a big difference for our community. Our Leader of Customer Demand Reduction, Sarah Marshall, explains more.

While this is another loss for journalism, our community still continues to gain from Robson's storytelling skills.

Farkas says Calgarians cannot take water for granted. “We’re living in a new reality,” he says. Farkas says the situation is a real threat and it requires everyone to act together.

In addition to our frontline crews working 24/7 to fix the pipe, I want to thank the City of Calgary comms team. They’ve been on site producing near real-time photos, videos, and clear updates so Calgarians know what’s happening and why. I couldn’t provide these updates without them.

Small businesses are the backbone of Montgomery, Bowness, and our city. Our Council team, including area Councillors Atkinson and Tyers, was on the ground supporting those impacted by the feeder main work. Let’s keep doing our part: www.calgary.ca/emergencies/...

UPDATE #11 - 8am Jan 2, 2026. THANK-YOU, CALGARY! We stepped up to conserve water, and it made a real difference. We’re now back in the sustainable zone—but we’re not out of the woods yet. Please keep conserving as crews continue their work. Latest details are here: www.calgary.ca/emergencies/...

Nearly 48 hours after the water main break in NW Calgary, we are learning more about conditions and timelines for repairs of the pipe. There is still work to be done but there is progress. See the graphics below for a summary of today's updates #yyc #yyccc 1/

We're responding to a water main break east of the Sarcee Trail/16 Ave N.W. interchange. ‼️There is a boil water advisory for the communities of Parkdale, Montgomery and Point McKay. All Calgarians should conserve water. Stay tuned for more updates. ➡ newsroom.calgary.ca/boil-water-a....

Kiddo knows the drill.

Update #6 4:06am 12/31/2025. The City is responding to a water main break east of the Sarcee Trail/16 Ave N.W. interchange. Boil water advisory for Parkdale, Montgomery and Point McKay. All Calgarians should conserve water. newsroom.calgary.ca/boil-water-a...

Mayor Farkas says as crews work through the night to assess the extent of the damage from the water main break, it’s unlikely there will be another update until early tomorrow morning.

Good morning, Calgary! Heading into a big Council week. I signed the motion to begin repealing blanket rezoning because I favour a more targeted approach to building homes. If approved, this will go to a public hearing. More to come -- hope to see you at the Menorah lighting tonight! #yyccc

This May Offend Some People... But It Needs To Be Said

Looking forward to getting out in this today.

Hopeful news!

Council has approved Calgary’s 2026 Budget. We're keeping life more affordable by reducing the property tax increase and spending on what matters most to Calgarians: Public Safety, Transit, Infrastructure and Housing. 1/2

Caught my train at Westbrook on my way to City Hall for Day 2 of Budget Week. Join us for the public hearing at 9:30am. Big thanks to our @calgarytransit Operators & snow crews out in the cold. Your new Council team is working hard to make mobility safer & affordable. #yyccc

I was grateful to take part in the 33rd annual Stuff-A-Bus campaign on Saturday, supporting families in need. Calgary Transit partnered with Calgary Co-op and the Calgary Food Bank, with buses parked at Co-op stores across the city for Calgarians to fill with donations. 1/2

Slow going, but I made it to City Hall this morning. Grateful for all my colleagues out on the roads. Live map of plows and graders (with all the best names) here: maps.calgary.ca/RoadConditio...

Great to connect ahead of budget week with nonprofit leaders through the Social Sector. Our Council team is focused on tackling today's affordability, safety, and housing challenges. With genuine listening and partnerships, we can strengthen the supports that Calgarians count on. #yyccc

For centuries, cities have been planned by and for able-bodied, gainfully-employed men. Feminist urban planning isn’t proposing the opposite, but a model that considers all stages of human life, from infancy to old age, without giving greater importance to the productive-work stage. bit.ly/49uev9N

Congratulations, Aryn! Welcome to the Hall!

Today, I proclaimed Transgender Day of Remembrance in Calgary. We honour those we’ve lost, and we stand with resolve for a city where everyone can live safely and authentically. We will keep fighting for every person’s right to be who they are: openly, proudly, and without fear. #yyccc

One of the things Calgary's Mayor can do is issue proclamations - a ceremonial declaration to recognize and observe days of significance. This week, November 15-22, 2025 is recognized as Métis Week. Since before Alberta was a province within Canada, the Métis people were here 1/4 #yyccc

I was honoured to present my first White Hat as mayor to Mayor Richard Ireland of Jasper, replacing the hat he lost when the fire took everything. A simple gesture to show Calgary stands with Jasper, as our Albertan neighbours rebuild. #yyccc

Being able to join City Hall School again is enough of a reason to be back in the Mayor's Office.

Totally normal date night at @thestrategists.ca Live.

It was great to connect with you, Prime Minister. We value how you see cities like Calgary as partners in tackling the housing shortage, improving public safety, and growing prosperity for all. Working together, we can build a stronger future for every Calgarian and every Canadian. #yyccc

From election night to the steps of Historic City Hall. It's a great honour to be asked to serve Calgarians as Engagment Manager for Mayor @jeromyyyc.bsky.social. I'm humbled by the opportunity.

"By doing things voters wanted, he set unrealistic expectations. Soon, voters will expect ALL politicians to represent their interests. Then where will we be?"

I've been taking a different route to City Hall these days, otherwise I'd be counted in this number too.

Millennials, man. nationalpost.com/news/calgary...

Not wrong.

Great to meet today with Alexa Briggs and Angie Gelinas from the Nonprofit Chamber — two strong champions for Calgary’s changemakers. Our new Council is focused on making it easier for nonprofits to do what you do best: serve people, build community, and get things done. #yyccc
