Effective immediately, the Boil Water Advisory for the communities of Parkdale, Montgomery, Point McKay and West Hillhurst has been lifted.

New potable water filling stations have been added on the east side of the boil water advisory area: - 3129 5th Ave NW - 2821 6th Ave NW - 2603 5th Ave NW Check the City’s warter main break update page (www.calgary.ca/emergencies/...) for the most current locations.

City crews are working diligently to flush the pipes by the Shaganappi Pump Station to restore potable water service to the affected areas. This has required a partial closure of the pathway in Edworthy Park, but a detour has been provided for those cycling and walking through the area. #yycbike

Potable water filling stations have been deployed in locations across the boil water advisory area. Affected residents can use these filling stations to get drinkable water that does not need to be boiled first.

 🚨 Due to a water main break last night on 16 Ave, Ward 7 residents in the communities of Parkdale, Point McKay and West Hillhurst are currently under a boil water advisory and all Calgarians are being asked to conserve water. Updates available at calgary.ca.

This campaign wasn’t built by consultants or party machines, it was built by neighbours and friends coming together to work for a better future for Ward 7. We’ve done politics differently, and the results have paid off with a campaign that’s rolling into election day ready to win.

There’s no “I” in Myke

Want to see a masterclass on what not to do as an incumbent? Not only did Terry Wong mention his main threat, Myke Atkinson, he spent two hours combing through his campaign material on FBLive. Easy to find, but here is the material they went through. #yyc #ward7 www.mykeatkinson.ca/mykedrops/ne...

Ballot consolidation did not occur and Ward 7 runs the risk of splitting the progressive votes again in 2025. I like all 3 candidates I mentioned below. But I have narrowed things down to one: Myke Atkinson @mykeatkinson.bsky.social #ward7 #Calgary

Hey #Calgary Ward 7! It’s 36 days until the municipal election and it’s still a crowded slate of progressive candidates. Will these three do the right thing, take care of the ranked ballot we don’t have & narrow the field to one? @hmcrae.bsky.social @mykeatkinson.bsky.social @davidfor7.ca

🗳️ Advance voting starts today at 10AM! Progressives split the vote in 2021. We can’t afford to do it again. This is the campaign with the momentum to win, we just need to come together now and take it across the finish line. #yyc #Ward7 #yyccc Video:

Myke Atkinson - Independent Best speaker of the bunch. Spoke without notes and had a firm grasp of issues and great ideas to solve. Seemed like someone you’d like to work with.

I proudly advocated for the change to make transit free for kids 12 and under in 2023, but extending that to 18 means more independence, less costs on families, and a stronger connection to our city. Let’s make Calgary easier to get around for the next generation. #yyc #yyccc #CalgaryTransit

It looks like my video about Terry telling people he’s not part of a political party seems to have struck a nerve. Glad he could provide this clarification on his stance on parties. You can watch the video here: www.instagram.com/reel/DOLmQ7w...

Why would Terry Wong be telling people that he’s not part of a political party? Because the voters in Ward 7 know that political parties don’t belong in City Hall. #yyc #yyccc #yycvote #Ward7 #CalgaryElection #VoteIndependent

The downtown cycle track was supposed to connect to the Bow River Pathway. Our FOI request shows that plans had even been developed back in 2020, but then the project was shelved after Terry Wong became Ward 7’s councillor. #yyc #yyccc #Ward7 #YYCBike #SafeStreets #BikeCalgary #DowntownCalgary

This bike lane just ends two blocks short of the river. Why?

Calgary already has decades of developable land inside its boundaries. So why is Council restarting annexation talks for 415 acres in Foothills County, just to pave one short road? Every time we grow, it costs more and pulls focus from the neighbourhoods we already have. #yyc #yyccc #StopSprawl

Does anyone in #yycbike know of anywhere in Calgary where bike racks have been installed in 5m no-parking-zone around crosswalks/intersections to provide better intersection daylighting for pedestrians and bike lockup at the same time (and way cheaper than curb bump outs)?

A swing. Sidewalk chalk. Kids laughing before school. That’s what community *should* look like. Bylaws should protect what matters, but they should also make space for joy, connection, and creativity in our neighbourhoods. #yyc #yyccc #PublicSpace #CommunityBuilding youtube.com/shorts/hwou2...

Calgary’s urban tree canopy is in trouble: we’re supposed to double it over the next 25 years, but recent data shows we’re going the wrong direction. In this video, I’m sharing why it matters and what we can do right here in Ward 7 to start turning things around. youtube.com/shorts/lS4Hf...

Another green space in Ward 7 is at risk – this time in Edworthy Park.

Plans for protected cycling routes are spread across many different City plans and there's no single resource to see them put together. So at Myke for Ward 7 HQ we've gone through and drawn them all out onto a single map to give a sense of what the Ward 7 network will look like when it's complete:

Service disruptions on #calgarytransit are one of the biggest pain points for riders. We need better signage that speaks in plain language, and it would be good if it could be a bit more responsive to the actual service conditions. 🤪 #yyc #yyccc

Did you know there are only three Wards in Calgary that don’t touch the city limits? We need to stop subsidizing costly sprawl that divert funds to the city’s fringes and instead reinvest in infrastructure and amenities for inner city communities. youtube.com/shorts/SJD3L...
