Hello, Ward 1!
I’m pleased to share some important updates on issues affecting our city.
Property Assessment
March 13 is the last day of The City’s Customer Review Period for property assessments. It’s also the last day to file an appeal with the Assessment Review Board. Questions or concerns? Contact Assessment directly at 403-268-2888 or calgary.ca/assessment.
Transit Safety
Safety on Calgary Transit and throughout Calgary remains one of our city’s biggest challenges and one of my top priorities to address. New measures in recent weeks include hiring more peace officers, deploying Transit Ambassadors and security staff, and infrastructure improvements. A reminder that you can report safety incidents on Transit by texting 74100 any time.
Public Safety and Community Response Task Force
I’m working hard for public safety solutions including through the provincial Public Safety Task Force. The Task Force’s aim is to implement real solutions with local and provincial support. This work will serve the whole city, including on transit.
Youth Hiring Event
The City is hosting a Youth Hiring Fair at the Big Four Building on April 6 from 1:30 to 6:00 pm. Youth between the ages of 15 and 24 can connect with over 80 employers for part-time, full-time, and seasonal employment opportunities.
Youth can also access free career counselling services throughout the year at the Youth Employment Centre, 315 10 Ave SE. The Centre is open Monday to Friday from 9:00 am until 4:00 pm.
