What would you do to make Calgary an even better place to live?

Write an essay, submit photographs or create visual art for your chance to spend the day with Mayor Gondek and City of Calgary administration (date tentatively set for April 2025), along with the opportunity to discuss one of your ideas with appropriate City of Calgary staff.
