If you want to learn more about Candy and see where she stands on critical issues facing Calgarians today, check out her responses to our Candidate Questionnaire:
I have been a longtime resident of Ward 2, from growing up here to moving back after university. For nearly twenty years, I’ve seen how little has changed when it comes to the basics–transit, infrastructure, and recreation. That needs to change.
I believe Ward 2 deserves a councillor who is a problem solver, who listens, and who gets results. It’s time Ward 2 had a strong voice that delivers.
On housing affordability:
We need to build more homes faster and smarter. That means removing barriers to build all forms of housing, streamlining approvals, and ensuring we have infrastructure in place to support new communities. But it also means focusing on infill, transit-oriented development, and public land partnerships that deliver housing where people want to live–close to schools, jobs, recreation facilities and other services. We can’t let red tape hold back the homes Calgarians need.
On public transit:
We can’t afford to let North Calgary fall further behind. In the short term, we will fight for immediate improvements: more frequent service on high-demand routes, expanded MAX and on-demand transit options, and small upgrades that make a big difference–like signal priority and real-time arrival info. Transit equity is non-negotiable. Every Calgarian deserves a system that’s safe, reliable, and gets them where they need to go.
On climate planning:
Climate change isn’t a future problem, it’s here now. We need to act like it. I support building climate resilience into every major city decision, from transit to housing to procurement. That means investing in electrified transit, enabling energy-efficient buildings, preserving natural assets, and supporting green infrastructure. We also need to prepare for climate impacts, including flooding, drought, and extreme heat, with strong adaptation and emergency response strategies. Climate action is city-building.
On public services:
Public services are the backbone of a successful, inclusive city. From transit and fire response to recreation and libraries, these services connect us, support our most vulnerable, and ensure that every Calgarian–regardless of background or income–can thrive. Investing in strong public services is not just good policy; it’s smart economics. It keeps people working, keeps neighbourhoods strong, and builds long-term value for our city.
