Key Priorities 

  • Being Responsible & Accountable to Citizens

Shane believes council needs to remember who they serve. Council members are here to represent constituents, not rule over them. Engagement should prioritize listening over lecturing. If elected, I commit to increased voter engagement in our ward, including regular town halls.

  • Responsible Spending/Running an Efficient & Effective City

Keep taxes and fees affordable through transparent budgeting and provide effective oversight of City administration.  Ensure that every dollar spent is used effectively to improve the core services that the city provides. City Hall needs to be accountable on where they are spending tax dollars.

  • Public Safety as a Fundamental Responsibility

Calgarians are not feeling safe in our city.  This is not the Calgary we grew up in and everyone deserves to feel safe.  We will invest in protective services— Police, Fire, By-law, and Peace Officers to ensure safer communities. Further investments are needed for transit safety, social disorder and crime prevention programs.  

Calgary is falling way behind on the national average of Police Officers to Population ratio. We will hire 500 more Police Officers to help address this. Calgary is also the only major city without a Downtown police station!

  • Reverse Blanket Rezoning and Ensure Smart & Respectful Growth

Reverse Blanket Rezoning! Encourage higher densities through redevelopment that respects community character. Ensure that all planning developments are made with proper input from the community. New suburban developments must demonstrate financial viability transparently.

Citizens deserve to have their voices heard on how their communities change!  Read more about this here

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Getting Back to Basics

Focus on municipal responsibilities and deliver services effectively and affordably. Engage with other orders of government for shared responsibilities, ensuring equitable cost-sharing.

  • Improved Municipal Infrastructure

Prioritize the upkeep of all city infrastructure while strategically investing in key capital projects to enhance our community’s resilience and growth. This includes improving transit options, road maintenance and repair, water infrastructure and efficient snow removal.
