“On behalf of Calgary’s business community, the Calgary Chamber of Commerce extends its congratulations to Mr. Jeromy Farkas and the 14 Councillors being sworn in today as Calgary’s next Mayor and City Council. We also want to recognize and thank all candidates for standing for election and contributing to a strong democratic process. Public service is a significant undertaking, and we commend the dedication, passion and commitment candidates have shown in their efforts to serve Calgarians.
“Calgary stands at a pivotal moment. Rapid population growth, global tensions and ongoing economic uncertainty have created complex challenges that businesses and citizens have had to navigate – but as a city and as a business community, we know we are well positioned to tackle the hurdles ahead. As outlined in our Business Matters municipal platform, we encourage City Council to prioritize building a competitive, safe, vibrant and connected economy – one that sees Calgary’s business community as a vital partner in addressing these challenges. We look forward to working closely with Mayor-elect Farkas and City Hall to ensure the voice of business is heard and to advance a more prosperous future for all Calgarians.”
