Last week, more than twelve hundred delegates from communities across Alberta gathered in Calgary for what Alberta Municipalities calls the province’s largest municipal gathering.

For three days, municipal leaders, administrators, and local government partners met face-to-face, sharing ideas and charting a path forward for their communities. 

Alberta’s two largest cities — Calgary and Edmonton — were well represented, with both mayors spending time on the floor speaking with delegates and engaging in conversations about the challenges and opportunities facing municipalities across the province.

Calgary’s host-city mayor, Jeromy Farkas, addressed delegates on the first day of the convention.

We later caught up with Mayor Farkas on day three to talk about welcoming representatives from every corner of Alberta to Calgary — and to reflect on the early days of his term.

We also spoke with Edmonton Mayor Knack about the path forward for his city, and how he and his new council are working together to serve all Edmontonians in the years ahead.
