Your Concern: We can't afford another Bowness water main disaster. Based on recent survey data by the City of Calgary: Ward 9 has lower Happiness than the rest of Calgary. This means Ward 9 Families are being left behind.

What Matters: Trust. Trust that water flows when taps turn, roads are clear, and your community is safe and thriving.
How We Deliver: Relentless focus on fundamentals. Tony's 18 years of building all over Calgary taught him: Ward 9’s priorities succeed only when essentials never fail you. 

Tony's Pledge:
→ Core services delivered, zero excuses.
→ Empowerment built for families and businesses.

→ Solutions catered to Ward 9, True representation.

→ Measuring success by your quality of life.

As Calgary nears 2 million people, prosperity demands action—not complexity. My focus: affordability never runs out of style, community-driven solutions and getting the basics right because great cities are built on competency, experience and clear mandates.

Tony's Key priorities: closing the gap of non-market housing compared to other major Canadian cities. One of the Top most liveable cities in the world includes having a dignified shelter when you need it. It's simple. 

Calgary needs 2,000 non-market units built per year.

A hand up not a handout. Prioritizing affordability for all residents ensure inclusivity, accessibility at all stages, wages, and phases of life.

 → HOUSING THAT WORKS FOR WARD 9

Providing housing solutions: More options for families, seniors, and workers—preserving neighbourhood character while growing responsibly. All while creating good paying jobs in the process, it is the process.

 → TRANSIT THAT CONNECTS & PROTECTS

Demand safety and reliability as a baseline commitment: Efficient routes linking work, shops, and community hubs—so you spend less time commuting and more time living. This includes all wheeled mobility while providing safe infrastructure.

Tony will deliver efficient government that listens, infrastructure that endures, and tax dollars that work just as hard as you —because Calgary’s future depends on getting the Fundamentals right.  

It's not a revenue problem, it's a spending problem.

Tony's Key priorities:

 → Ending City Hall’s unmanaged spending by demanding real tangile value taxpayers can touch, feel and utilize. Snow plow, lane grading and pot holes.

 → Restoring trust through open decision-making: taxpayer-fund projects will face public scrutiny and citizen oversight. ie Arena deal

→ Building future-proof infrastructure with taxpayer accountability prioritizing roads, utilities, and sustainable transportation that connects North and South Calgary to the downtown core. ie: A Greenline that makes sense.

 → TAXPAYER-FOCUSED ESSENTIALS

Scrutinize every dollar: Holding city council accountable to taxpayers. No more special emergency spending without transparency and resident approval.

After 18 years of building all over Calgary, Tony has seen how unchecked crime steals our most basic liberty: walking your block or riding transit without fear. 

Ward 9 families deserve to feel safe — in their homes, parks, and neighbourhoods. As an affordable housing developer and job creator, I bring common-sense solutions to deliver real security

Because real safety isn't about surveillance—it's restoring your right to feel secure in the communities you call home.
