The services you need.
The services Calgarians rely on are essential to daily life, and Gustafson’s plan is about strengthening them. By introducing a simplified services system, the City will empower frontline staff with better tools, clearer processes, and stronger support. This isn’t about cutting back—it’s about boosting morale, unlocking the potential of city workers, and giving them the ability to deliver higher-quality results with less frustration. When employees feel valued and supported, the services Calgarians count on—like waste collection, snow clearing, recreation, and community safety—become more reliable, responsive, and effective.
Improved output means residents will notice the difference in their neighborhoods. Faster service requests, cleaner streets, safer communities, and more accessible programs are all outcomes of a system designed for efficiency and pride in work. The savings generated from these improvements will be invested directly into the Calgary Wealth Fund, ensuring that better services today also build financial resilience for tomorrow. This approach delivers more value to Calgarians, not less—more services, more reliability, and a stronger future for our city.
The respect you deserve.
Calgary will respect its neighbourhoods by ensuring that every community is treated with dignity, care, and consideration. Under Gustafson’s leadership, City Hall will stop the practice of forcing one-size-fits-all solutions onto communities and instead listen closely to the voices of residents. Each neighbourhood has its own identity, history, and priorities, and the city must honour that. Development, infrastructure, and services will be planned in partnership with communities, not imposed upon them, so that growth strengthens neighbourhood character rather than undermines it.
No neighbourhood should feel violated by decisions made far away in council chambers. Gustafson’s vision is to protect the fabric of Calgary’s communities, ensuring safety, livability, and respect are at the heart of every decision. This means prioritizing clean streets, safe parks, and reliable services while rejecting policies that disrupt or diminish local life. Calgarians deserve to feel proud of their neighbourhoods, and City Hall will work with, not against, the people who call them home.
