Ward 7 has the most C-Train stations of any ward, keeping our communities the most connected in the city.

a vision for ward 7
The future of Ward 7 depends on how we care for it today. I’m ready to champion the unique issues and opportunities here to build a safer, more vibrant, people-first Ward 7.
25 years in Ward 7
I’ve raised my family here, worked here, and built deep community roots. Ward 7 isn’t just where I live; it’s where my vision for a stronger, more vibrant Calgary begins.
