Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek did not provide a "priority list" with her asks for Budget 2023.
"I'm looking forward to meeting with Mayor Gondek to find out what her priorities are, and I hope we'll be able to come to a conclusion on that," Smith said. The letter would have been written prior to Smith being elected as UCP leader, sworn in as premier and winning her seat in a by-election as MLA. "Since the economic downturn in 2015, Calgary has navigated a significant set of challenges," the letter reads.
Gondek also asked for funding to support Calgary’s Greater Downtown Plan, which was launched in 2021 and will reinvent the core over ten years. Other asks included money for affordable housing, continued funded for low income transit pass and infrastructure. "Not having any dollars in this year’s budget is a surprise to us," said executive director Mark Garner.
