Jyoti Gondek:we are dedicated to updating our budgeting system

"As the Mayor of Calgary, I am committed to fostering a culture of transparency and accountability in our city's financial management. Simultaneously, we are dedicated to updating our budgeting system to avoid underestimating revenue and to enhance transparency for you, the taxpayers. This means having open discussions and making informed investments that align with our current situation, ensuring a bright future for Calgary.

Our goal is to make this surplus beneficial for all of us. We recognize that our city's prosperity is built on the trust and confidence of our citizens, and we are committed to being responsible stewards of our resources. By modernizing our budgeting system, we can better anticipate and respond to the needs of our communities, investing in the projects and initiatives that will drive growth, innovation, and prosperity for generations to come.

I am excited to work with our city's leaders and stakeholders to build a brighter future for Calgary, one that is rooted in transparency, accountability, and a deep commitment to the well-being of our citizens. Together, we can create a city that is vibrant, inclusive, and resilient, where everyone has the opportunity to thrive."
