Great to join Calgary’s Hungarian community and Hungarian Ambassador Lengyel to mark the anniversary of the March 1848 Revolution. Always special to celebrate the history, culture, and contributions of Hungarian Canadians here in Calgary.

Hey, neighbour! It was a pleasure to welcome former Ward 4 Councillor Gael MacLeod back to her old office at Historic City Hall. It was great to hear her perspective on how the role of councillors has changed in the past decade and a half, and how I can better serve neighbours.

So close, Calgary! Yesterday’s water demand was 501 million litres (ML), just over the 500 ML mark. Today is a fresh start. Let’s all keep doing what we can to save water and move it back to the green zone! It’s as easy as skipping a few flushes, shortening your shower and only washing full loads of laundry and dishes. We’ve got this! To stay up to date on the feeder main reinforcements, visit calgary.ca/savewater

Bienvenue à Calgary! This week, we welcome a delegation from our sister city, Quebec City. I got to try out my French skills and white hat Mayor Marchand in French. It was an absolute pleasure to mark our 70 year anniversary of friendship and commit to continuing those deep ties. Merci beaucoup!

Loving this year’s @Calgarytransit themed Canstruction entrant here in the Municipal Building. The CANtasy Island Express is made of 10,000 cans, which will all go to the Calgary Food Bank following the end of contest. Come check it out if you happen to be visiting, or take a look here at the other entrants! calgaryfoodbank.com/canstruction/

@DrummerGirl_CC Yes please DM me and I'll see what I can do

@JeromyYYC Hey J - I would love to have you recognize a driver we had for a volunteer event at Xmas. I only have a photo to id him though. He did a few things that I don’t have space on here to write about. I would just love him to be appreciated by his employer.

Our friends at Calgary Transit gave me a learners permit to ride in the cab alongside some of our fantastic LRT drivers today. I was happy to celebrate Thank Your Driver Day by making special announcements for Reg, Gurjinder, Alex, Ravi and Avi. Thanks for the special experience, and a huge thank you @calgarytransit to all the operators who make life better everyday for Calgarians!

@DMcDonald666 These are locations that are in urgent need of repair to get us through the summer. The brand new pipe will be ready by end of year

@JeromyYYC I thought we were replacing the pipe segments? Isn't this just another bandaid approach?

Great to stop by Abbey's Creations in Montgomery/Bowness for their legendary ice cream! Abbey and Paul let me brush off my ice cream serving skills and see behind the scenes at their store. Let's keep supporting local business, especially folks in Bowness and Montgomery, who are feeling the impacts of the Bearspaw Feedermain repairs.

We're back in the green, Calgary! Yesterday’s water usage was 497 million litres (ML), even with the water that was needed for yesterday's massive fire. Great job being Water Heroes! To stay up to date on the feeder main reinforcements visit calgary.ca/savewater.

Fantastic leadership from the Premier on getting this in the net. This wouldn't be happening if not for provincial support. The return for both Calgary and Edmonton will be substantial. #yyccc

Time to start a new streak, Calgary. After an incredible first week with six straight days in the green zone, our water use ticked up a bit to 504 million litres (ML) yesterday, just into the red zone. We get it, Sunday laundry happens. Let’s take this opportunity to save a flush (or two), keep those showers short, wash only full loads and bring us back into the green zone this week!
