Calgary has always been my home. This is a city built on community and hard work. I love this city, and that’s why I am running to be Calgary’s next mayor. It’s time to get Calgary back on track: strong, safe, and sensible. Join me. SharpForMayor.ca | #yyccc

Today is World Drowning Prevention Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of water safety. My first job with the City of Calgary was in 2001 as a lifeguard and I know first-hand the dedication and strength needed to prevent drowning. It is important for…

This story is just the latest example of how out of touch City Hall has become with what really matters to Calgarians. At a time when people are facing real challenges, from affordability to safety, this is why bylaw officers show up on our front steps? It’s symbol of how…

This week CREBNow shared their housing priorities, and I’m proud to say they align with the work I’ve been doing at City Hall. I’ve had a lot of conversations with Calgarians about affordability. They’ve told me how it feels harder every year to own a home and how rising costs…

Calgary’s Nepalese community hosted a beautiful cultural celebration this weekend, bringing together generations to honour tradition, community, and pride. I had the honour of starting the morning in the parade, an energetic and heartfelt kickoff to the day’s festivities. From…

Exactly what we need. Communities First lead by @SonyaSharpYYC is the only party putting forward transparency and accountability at city hall.

City Hall's big re-org was supposed to cut red tape and deliver better service. But Calgarians are still seeing City silos and growing costs. That’s why I’m calling for a full review of the realignment. We need to know if it’s actually working, or just adding more layers of…

🚨 Calgary taxpayers deserve accountability. @SonyaSharpYYC and @chabot4ward10 are bringing forward a new Notice of Motion that calls for a full, independent review of City Hall's massive overhaul — a reorganization that’s added new layers of bureaucracy without any proof it’s…

Stampede 2025 is in the books! It was great to connect with residents from every single community in Ward 11 and hear what’s important to them in the upcoming election. 99 days until the election! Get involved at RobWard11.ca!

Public safety is the foundation of our city. In this weekend's @calgaryherald, I outline why Calgary must reinvest in frontline policing; not just for downtown, but across all communities. It’s time to restore confidence in our streets and ensure that Calgarians feel safe where…

As we wrap up another incredible Stampede this weekend, I’m feeling grateful. Over the past 10 days, I’ve had the chance to connect with thousands of Calgarians at breakfasts, parades, and community events across the city. We shared coffee, pancakes, and conversations about the…

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to our Communities First Stampede breakfast today in Shawnessy, and to the dozens of incredible volunteers who made it all happen. We had a fantastic turnout and loved connecting with Calgarians over pancakes, amazing entertainment and…

I had a blast with the @commfirstyyc team at the Shane Homes Rocky Ridge YWCA Breakfast! I met the kindest kid from Taiwan who wanted to ask me questions, including “What is the most famous thing about Canada” and “What do Canadian kids learn in school”. So sweet. #yyc #yyccc

Thanks to your advocacy, construction on Stephen Avenue has officially been delayed. After hearing from business owners who felt blindsided by the timing and communication around this project, I pushed back. This should never have been planned during the heart of downtown's busy…

Our Mayoral Candidate @SonyaSharpYYC, Ward 1 Candidate @kim_tyers, and Ward 12 Candidate @ShaneByciuk joined our amazing volunteers bright and early at the Shane Homes Rocky Ridge @YMCA_Calgary Stampede breakfast. They spent the morning connecting with Calgarians over coffee,…

17th Ave deserves better than decisions made without its businesses. Our Ward 8 candidate and Leo Boutique owner @CorneliaWiebe spoke to @CTVCalgary about the proposal to close a portion of 17th Ave to vehicles in the summer. “In all my years here, I’ve never heard a business…
