City Council Kicks Off: Calgary's Committees Take Shape Today

Calgary's new City Council is getting down to business! Following the municipal election on October 20, 2025, and the official swearing-in on October 29, 2025, the Mayor and 14 Councillors are set to assign crucial committee roles. This happens at the Regular Council Meeting on December 4.

These appointments are pivotal. They shape local governance, impacting everything from urban planning to community services. The new council will tackle Calgary's rapid growth, housing affordability, and ongoing downtown revitalization efforts. Calgarians should pay attention.

The city's committee system involves numerous boards, commissions, and committees. These groups directly influence key decisions across our 14 wards. In a move to boost diverse involvement, a new policy starting January 1, 2026, will even offer stipends and expense reimbursements for public members. Your voice matters in shaping our city's future.
