The Bearspaw Feeder Main is now offline for essential maintenance. While crews carry out this critical work, Calgarians can help by conserving water. Small actions across our city make a big difference. Let’s work together and keep Calgary’s water system strong. www.calgary.ca/savewater
Calgary friends - don’t forget to do that extra load of laundry tonight before the water pipe repair starts!
Despite low oil prices, our Council team and City staff delivered a modest surplus, boosted public safety and infrastructure, and kept our tax increase lower than inflation (1.6%). We're focused on financial management, transparency, and sharing results: www.calgary.ca/our-finances... #yyccc

Help spread the word!
On Monday, March 9, the Bearspaw South Feeder Main (BSFM) will be shut down to allow for planned reinforcement repairs to support the stability of the current pipe.

If I've got this right, #yyc has got some water restrictions coming up on March 9. Planned restrictions, which means we have time to prepare! So pretty soon we're going to start seeing some messaging from @calgary.ca to help citizens get ready, right? @jeromyyyc.bsky.social @daorcey.bsky.social
The provincial government is imposing the largest property tax increase in Calgary’s history.
Calgarians are facing more than double the increase of Edmonton.
+$339 per home in Calgary.
+$154 in Edmonton.
Albertans deserve a system that is transparent, balanced, and fair.
The Province has just forced the largest property tax hike in Calgary history. A 21% increase to their share that will hit families, seniors, and renters hard.
I'm calling an Special Meeting of Council for 9:30 a.m. on March 4, 2026 to defend Calgary taxpayers and determine immediate next steps.
The provincial government has just imposed the largest property tax increase on Calgarians in history.
In 2026, Alberta is increasing its share of your property tax bill by 21.05%. Nearly 42% of every residential property tax dollar now goes to Province.
NEW: The Government of Alberta is increasing its education property tax requisition from Calgary to $1.2B.
The typical Calgary homeowner will pay an extra $340 this year.

These slop accounts are garbage. City council did NOT extend transfer window. They asked admin to start work on it + report back in Apr for council to decide. Accounts like these scrape headlines, have 100,000+ followers & often get it wrong. Meanwhile legit news orgs are banned by Meta. 🤦🏻♂️ #yyccc
Thank you for your leadership, Cllr. @yuleloveyyc.bsky.social and Mayor @jeromyyyc.bsky.social.
Thank you for the hard work, planning, and advocacy, @matticusssss.bsky.social (re: Calgary-Airdrie) as well as proponents and supporters of The Trail project (Calgary-Cochrane).
There is something deeply gratifying about leaving your local community and arriving in another by bike. This will lead to more café and service engagement and promote bike/ebike sales and rentals. It also offers an alternative commute option in the age of ebikes.

Love seeing this happen. And Mayor @jeromyyyc.bsky.social on that sponsor list 👀
Calgary is an amazing place to ride a bike.
Being able to safely cycle on car free pathways to neighbouring municipalities would be game changer.
LFG! #yycbike
Monsters.
On my way to Council. One motion I’m excited about: extending Calgary Transit transfers from 90 to 120 minutes. Delays shouldn’t mean paying twice. More flexibility. More fairness. Thanks to Cllr Mike Jamieson for bringing it forward. Let’s make transit work better.
So wonderful to be a part of this with my family.
Doing a terrible job resisting participating in the "no one bikes in winter" posts. Kiddo and I just got back from theatre camp. (Parking was tougher than the actual commute.)
Honoured to attend Miskanawah’s Annual Friendship Round Dance last night. No one higher, no one left out. From East Calgary kid to Mayor, I carry that lesson with me. Leadership is stewardship. Community is shared. Grateful to stand together on Treaty 7 territory. Hiy hiy.
Get ready to conserve water again. But this time, this is on schedule and planned. Calgarians and our regional neighbours can expect a full comms/ad campaign to make sure we're all informed and pulling together.
We're taking another important step towards creating more housing options for Calgarians. On Feb. 9, we announced that 128 new non-market homes will be delivered through the Downtown Non-Market Office Conversion Grant: calgary.ca/DowntownNonmarket.
15th Ave was good, but the windrows that I needed to hop over were wild.
Celebrate Black History Month as we recognize the leadership of Virnetta Anderson, YYC’s first Black councillor. Her leadership shaped YYC being a key voice behind the creation of the CTrain line etc.
📽️Watch Anderson's story:

I loved these days/conversations. I'm grateful for our cargo bike because it gives us more opportunities to chat even though kiddo could be biking on her own.

Snow Event Update February 16, 2026
It is currently snowing in Calgary and the surrounding area. Up to 20 cms of snow is expected to fall across the region by Tuesday morning.
Family is not always simple. It can be complicated. It looks different for everyone. Sometimes it is the family we are born into. Sometimes it is the family we choose. However it looks in your life I hope today you feel grateful for the people who carried you forward & helped you become who you are.
