Calgary has seen its fair share of challenges over the past few years and the future of our beloved city will soon be in the hands of a new city council. Calgarians want a vibrant and thriving Calgary to attract business, build a strong community, stimulate the economy, and retain lifelong Calgarians. What does a vibrant YYC look like to you? Join the leading 2021 Mayoral candidates as they share their vision on how to rebuild a vibrant Calgary.

The discussion will be moderated by Chima Nkemdirim, VP Government Relations at Shaw Communications and former Chief of Staff to Mayor Nenshi. This forum will explore the economic and social challenges our city faces and provide Calgarians with the opportunity to hear from the five leading Mayoral candidates (guided by public opinion polls). Audience members will also have an opportunity to submit their questions to the candidates.

In a partnership between Arts Commons, the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA), the Calgary Downtown Association, and Creative Calgary, VibrantYYC will be held, in person and online, on October 4, 2021, from 11:30am to 1:00pm, at Arts Commons’ Jack Singer Concert Hall, for a limited socially-distanced audience of 250 people. Strict Covid protocols will be in place, so please visit the Health and Safety page, so that you are prepared if you are coming in person. For those who are unable or uncomfortable attending in person, the event will also be live-streamed for viewing from home. 

Tickets are FREE for both the in-person and live-streamed event, but registration is required.
