City of Calgary
Naheed Nenshi, A’paistootsiipsii, was sworn in as Calgary's 36th mayor on October 25, 2010 and was re-elected in 2013 and 2017.
In 2020, Calgary experienced the world-altering effects of Covid-19. A year of parallels where Calgary’s community came together to support health and local businesses, while also experiencing first-hand the importance of digital transformation and the need for diversification.
From Covid-19 to community, climate to capital, join more than 1,500 of Calgary’s community builders at the much-anticipated Report to the Community on April 15, 2021. Together we’ll discuss the mark left by 2020 and what forging into the future looks like for our opportunity-rich city.
A year filled with record-setting funding announcements, energy transitions and a global health crisis – this year’s virtual event will feature interactive breakout sessions, moderated by influential community and business leaders, discussing COVID-19's economic impacts and how Calgary can be a global climate, community and capital leader.

In a city known for our energy output, does the move to a greener economy impact the capital flow to our city?
