Calgary’s current Mayor has officially launched her campaign seeking a second term in office, aiming to continue the momentum of her first term. At a well-attended campaign event held downtown, the Mayor emphasized her vision of a more resilient, inclusive, and economically vibrant Calgary.
In her speech, the Mayor reflected on the challenges faced during her initial term, including the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, the housing affordability crisis, and the impacts of climate change. She highlighted her administration’s achievements in affordable housing expansion, downtown revitalization, and investments in public transit infrastructure such as the Green Line project.
“We’ve made significant strides, but there’s more to do,” the Mayor stated. “From addressing the urgent need for housing to preparing our city for a more sustainable future, I’m committed to leading Calgary with compassion, courage, and accountability.”
The Mayor also outlined new policy priorities for her second term, including:
- Affordable Housing & Rent Relief: Expanding rental assistance programs and incentivizing developers to build more affordable units.
- Economic Development: Attracting new industries, supporting local businesses, and creating high-quality jobs in the tech and clean energy sectors.
- Public Safety: Increasing funding for community-based policing and mental health response units.
- Climate Resilience: Advancing Calgary’s climate action strategy, improving flood mitigation systems, and investing in green infrastructure.
- Transit & Mobility: Expanding and modernizing the city’s transit system to make it more accessible, efficient, and environmentally friendly.
The Mayor’s campaign is expected to face several contenders, with some critics pointing to concerns about property taxes and budget priorities. However, early polls suggest she still retains a strong base of support, especially among younger voters and urban communities.
Community leaders, business owners, and civil society organizations have offered mixed reactions some praising her inclusive leadership and focus on equity, while others urge more aggressive action on economic recovery and public safety.
The Calgary municipal election is scheduled for October 2025, and the Mayor’s campaign team says it will focus on “connecting directly with citizens through town halls, listening tours, and digital engagement.”
“We need experienced leadership now more than ever,” the Mayor concluded. “I’m not done fighting for this city for your families, your futures, and for the Calgary we all believe in.”
