Honoured to introduce Mayor @jeromyyyc.bsky.social at Wednesday’s @calgaryeconomic.bsky.social Report to Community. Went a bit off script—but I believe in standing up for what’s right. Our city and province need future-focused leadership. Thank you, Mayor Farkas, for speaking out.

Calgary Mayor Jeromy Farkas came out with some pretty strong words against Alberta separation — and in favour of immigration as a strength for the city — in his remarks at a Calgary Economic Development event yesterday:

Mayor @jeromyyyc.bsky.social coming out swinging against separatism while also celebrating the strength of a diverse and connected Canada--with Calgary at its heart. "Our message is simple: you are welcome here!" youtu.be/_EozfmVc8aw?...

Calgary, we want you to tell us where we can best focus our transit. Please help us out by sharing your thoughts here:

Neato!

Over the past few weeks, crews have worked around the clock (through snow and shine), to make the necessary reinforcement repairs to the Bearspaw Feeder Main. Calgarians really stepped up by saving water - helping crews keep the work moving and getting us to listing restrictions today.

The moment we’ve all been waiting for… all water restrictions are officially lifted. 🙌 The feeder main is filled, water quality testing is complete, and the pipe has been reconnected to the rest of the water distribution system.

Calgary mayor Jeromy Farkas (sporting a duck tie) says the city has been living in a new reality since the feeder main broke on Dec 30. He says the reinforcements don’t mean the city is out of the woods, and the city cannot afford to become complacent.

Today's ride into the office was an adventure. Including a white rabbit on one of the downtown lanes!

Joy and pride and celebration. It's Transgender Day of Visibility and the flag is flying at your City Hall.

🐤 🐤 🐤 🐤 🐤 🐤 🐤 7 days in a row - the green streak continues! Yesterday’s water usage was 494 million litres (ML), keeping us in the sustainable zone. Refilling the pipe is complete, testing the water continues and we plan to turn on the pumps today.

Quick update on my way to City Hall. The blanket rezoning hearing is recessed while Council handles scheduled business and resumes Thursday.

✅We’re back in the Green! Yesterday’s water usage was 490 million litres (ML) which brought us back into the green zone. Your efforts are the reason we hit this number, let’s keep the momentum going! To stay up to date on the feeder main reinforcements, visit calgary.ca/savewater

Let’s reset our green streak and get back on track! Yesterday’s water demand was 506 million litres (ML), putting us in the risky red zone. Every shortened shower and every full load of laundry and dishes helps take the pressure off our system while the feeder main reinforcement continues.

Wow! Nicely done.

Today, Muslim communities in Calgary and around the world celebrate Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan. After a month of fasting and reflection, families gather in gratitude and generosity. May this day bring joy, peace, and blessings. Eid Mubarak to all celebrating.

I'm getting much better at not flushing every time. Never thought I'd write that sentence before.

"If you wanna see that."

Four for four, Calgary – Let’s keep the streak going as we head into the weekend! Yesterday’s water usage was 482 million litres (ML) which keeps us in the green zone for the FOURTH day in a row. To stay up to date on the feeder main reinforcements, visit calgary.ca/savewater

Feeling pretty great about all of us!

Looks like our family's commitment to gamifying short showers and letting the yellow mellow is helping out.

Good job Calgary – let’s keep it up! Yesterday’s water usage was 496 million litres (ML) which keeps us in the green zone. To stay up to date on the feeder main reinforcements visit calgary.ca/savewater.

The Bearspaw Feeder Main is now offline for essential maintenance. While crews carry out this critical work, Calgarians can help by conserving water. Small actions across our city make a big difference. Let’s work together and keep Calgary’s water system strong. www.calgary.ca/savewater

Calgary friends - don’t forget to do that extra load of laundry tonight before the water pipe repair starts!

Despite low oil prices, our Council team and City staff delivered a modest surplus, boosted public safety and infrastructure, and kept our tax increase lower than inflation (1.6%). We're focused on financial management, transparency, and sharing results: www.calgary.ca/our-finances... #yyccc

Help spread the word! On Monday, March 9, the Bearspaw South Feeder Main (BSFM) will be shut down to allow for planned reinforcement repairs to support the stability of the current pipe. 1/5

If I've got this right, #yyc has got some water restrictions coming up on March 9. Planned restrictions, which means we have time to prepare! So pretty soon we're going to start seeing some messaging from @calgary.ca to help citizens get ready, right? @jeromyyyc.bsky.social @daorcey.bsky.social

The provincial government is imposing the largest property tax increase in Calgary’s history. Calgarians are facing more than double the increase of Edmonton. +$339 per home in Calgary. +$154 in Edmonton. Albertans deserve a system that is transparent, balanced, and fair.

The Province has just forced the largest property tax hike in Calgary history. A 21% increase to their share that will hit families, seniors, and renters hard. I'm calling an Special Meeting of Council for 9:30 a.m. on March 4, 2026 to defend Calgary taxpayers and determine immediate next steps.

The provincial government has just imposed the largest property tax increase on Calgarians in history. In 2026, Alberta is increasing its share of your property tax bill by 21.05%. Nearly 42% of every residential property tax dollar now goes to Province.

NEW: The Government of Alberta is increasing its education property tax requisition from Calgary to $1.2B. The typical Calgary homeowner will pay an extra $340 this year. globalnews.ca/news/1170897...

These slop accounts are garbage. City council did NOT extend transfer window. They asked admin to start work on it + report back in Apr for council to decide. Accounts like these scrape headlines, have 100,000+ followers & often get it wrong. Meanwhile legit news orgs are banned by Meta. 🤦🏻‍♂️ #yyccc

Thank you for your leadership, Cllr. @yuleloveyyc.bsky.social and Mayor @jeromyyyc.bsky.social. Thank you for the hard work, planning, and advocacy, @matticusssss.bsky.social (re: Calgary-Airdrie) as well as proponents and supporters of The Trail project (Calgary-Cochrane).

There is something deeply gratifying about leaving your local community and arriving in another by bike. This will lead to more café and service engagement and promote bike/ebike sales and rentals. It also offers an alternative commute option in the age of ebikes. calgaryherald.com/news/calgary...

Love seeing this happen. And Mayor @jeromyyyc.bsky.social on that sponsor list 👀
