It was a wonderful opportunity to work with such a great table of engaged community partners and deliver 28 recommendations to Mayor Gondek this morning. Now on to implementation and address all the needs of downtown including business.

[Downtown Calgary @downtowncalgary]

We welcome today's recommendations from the Downtown Safety Leadership Table. But action needs to be taken now to support our downtown business community. #yyccc

1/4 Saddened & frustrated @chinookblast had to cancel a much anticipated show with talented performers this weekend. Why? Because of planned protests rooted in hate & fear-mongering. I respect the decision & the need to prioritize public & performer safety. But this cannot go on.

[Downtown Calgary @downtowncalgary]

Another fabulous balloon installation has appeared in #downtowncalgary for @chinookblast! 🎈This latest display from Calgary Party 50 is sure to turn heads this weekend. @BankandBaron #yyc #ChinookBlast
