Calgary City Council Needs Change

It starts with electing councillors who work to represent residents – and who understand whose money they are spending.

"Your Ward 11 Councillor must address the immediate needs of Ward 11 residents with a focus on practical, common-sense solutions. By prioritizing infrastructure, public safety, sensible urban planning, fiscal responsibility, and common-sense governance, we can build a better future for Ward 11 and all of Calgary."

– Rob Ward, Ward 11 Candidate.

Policy Platform for Ward 11 Candidate Rob Ward

Calgarians deserve a City Hall that listens, acts and delivers.
I’m running to bring strong, accountable leadership to Ward 11 – leadership that focuses on delivering core city services, respects your tax dollars, and makes decisions with the community, not behind closed doors. My priorities are rooted in practical solutions and shaped by the feedback I hear every day at the doors.

Overturn Blanket Rezoning

Restore community input. Ensure growth fits neighbourhood desires and character.

The recent blanket rezoning removed community voices from development decisions, forcing changes without proper consultation. I will work to repeal this policy and restore a process where neighbourhood input matters. Growth should be targeted near transit corridors, major roads, and underused commercial areas – paired with the infrastructure upgrades needed to support it.

Efficient and Effective City Government

Deliver value for every tax dollar.

I will fight for affordable taxes, transparent budgeting, and disciplined investment. By cutting wasteful projects, we can save money and focus resources on essential services. Strong elected leadership will ensure city administration is focused on results – not more bureaucracy.

Constructive Collaboration Over Politics

Put Calgary first - above any party line.
I will work with all levels of government to secure funding, infrastructure, and services for our city. Whether the challenge is public safety, housing, or transportation, I will put Ward 11 and Calgary ahead of partisan politics.

Responsive and Accountable Representation

Your councillor should be accessible year-round, not just at election time.

I will engage with Ward 11 residents through quarterly town halls, community events, and open lines of communication. Accountability means answering questions, following through on commitments, and keeping you informed about how your voice shapes council decisions.

Get Back to Basics

Focus on core infrastructure.

Road maintenance, snow clearing, water and sewer infrastructure, waste management, and reliable transit are the backbone of our city. These essentials must be delivered efficiently, affordably, and at a high standard before City Hall takes on costly new initiatives.

Invest in Protective Services

A safe city is a strong city.
I will support police, fire, bylaw, and peace officers with the staffing, equipment, and resources they need to keep Calgarians safe. This includes improving response times, expanding prevention programs for youth, and strengthening community policing.
