Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Ward 14!

I hope you get the chance to do the most important thing this time of year, spend time with family and friends. Here is my December column.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)

If you follow me, or the solid-waste management industry, you will know exactly what EPR is. If not, then you are probably unaware. It is not a concept that people are generally aware of, but it could go a long way toward solving our recycling problems and save taxpayers some money in the process. I hope you will visit calgary.ca/ward14newsletter to learn more about this important initiative.

Winter recreation program registration begins Nov. 26

The City of Calgary’s Winter Recreation Program Guide offers hundreds of fun and affordable recreational opportunities to get you and your family more active, more often. Registered programs are offered at dozens of facilities located throughout the city, include swimming, skating, hockey, fitness, dance, martial arts, sports and more. To learn more and find a program that’s right for you, visit calgary.ca/register.

2019 wrap-up, and a look at 2020

It has been a very eventful year for this country, this province, and this city. I want to reflect on what happened and set you up for what is to come in the New Year. You can visit calgary.ca/ward14newsletter for the full article.
