Welcome to the New Ward 9
Dear Ward 9 Neighbours,
This is the first opportunity I’ve had to write to you since Calgary’s municipal election on October 16th. Firstly, I am deeply honoured to be representing the amazing neighbourhoods of Ward 9 for a third term and am so grateful for the support and encouragement I received to continue our mission of building Great Neighbourhoods.
Though this election was, at times, divisive and discouraging, it is my belief that our Ward 9 neighbours were clear in their commitment to building a city that is affordable, vibrant, inclusive, economically diverse and pays for itself in the long-term.
Over the last few weeks, your Team Ward 9 has been busy getting the office ready for this exciting third term and (re)connecting with many of our neighbours. Together, there is a lot we want to accomplish over the next four years in our new Ward 9.
As many of you are aware, city-wide changes to each ward came into effect immediately after the election. Ward 9 maintained 8 of our original communities and gained 8 new ones.
Together, we represent a strong, unified East Calgary.
Your Ward 9 is made up of the following communities:
- Renfrew
- Bridgeland-Riverside
- Inglewood
- Ramsay
- Manchester
- Millican-Ogden-Lynwood
- Fairview
- Dover
- Southview
- Albert Park-Radisson Heights
- Erin Woods
- Forest Lawn
- Forest Heights
- Penbrooke Meadows
- Applewood Park
- Red Carpet
Each icon represents all the unique neighbourhoods that make up Ward 9!
Find more information about our Ward 9 neighbourhoods and some of the work I have done over the last seven years through our Community Objectives Workshops. You can also check out the latest episode of Ward 9 TV Lite, my video-blog to stay up-to-date and informed about what is happening at City Hall and in our communities.
Please know that I am here to serve you as your City Councillor. Do not hesitate to reach out to your Team Ward 9 if you have any neighbourhood issues, concerns, ideas or insights.
Looking forward to working with all the Ward 9 great neighbourhoods this term!
Yours truly,
Gian-Carlo
