Over two decades, Druh Farrell was a principled and values-driven representative who helped shape Ward 7 into one of Calgary’s most vibrant, walkable, and people-centred areas in the city.

I look forward to carrying her legacy forward and to bringing strong, independent leadership back to Ward 7.

My mentor, friend, and former boss Chad Saunders has been making Calgary a better place for decades. His dedication to lifting up the people that make this city great and helping to weave the fabric of community is truly inspiring.

David Down dedicated his career to shaping Calgary’s urban future. As the City’s former Chief Urban Designer, he worked to guide growth, strengthen neighbourhoods, and support a more sustainable, livable Calgary. He’s also a long-time Ward 7 resident who knows the value and joy of living in the inner-city. It’s the great work of people like David that I want to support: those who work at the City to better our shared home every single day.

Lourdes is an absolute powerhouse and such a doer in our community. She’s the founder of Hive Developments, Leftovers Foundation, Fresh Routes, Knead Tech, and Soma Calgary — each one a testament to her vision for impact and innovation. She’s one of those people who sees problems as opportunities and applies her unique lens to social impact and innovation.

For years Erin has been an active advocate to build a better future for Calgary, including her run for Ward 7 councillor in 2021. Erin’s letter made me absolutely blush when I first read it, and I’m so lucky to have her helping me to get across the finish line this October.  Thank you Erin! 🥰
