About this listen

 If you've ever asked, "What's really going on at Calgary City Hall?" - this podcast is for you. Calgary Connected is a behind-the-scenes look at how Communities First will fix what's broken at City Hall, from red tape to rezoning. We'll talk about why we formed, what we stand for, and how we plan to bring back transparency, accountability and strong leadership back to City Council. No spin. No party whip. Just honest conversations about where Calgary is headed, and how we can get it back on track. Because the future of our city should always put communities first.Communities First Political Science Politics & Government

    From Frustration to Formation
    May 8 2025

    In this premiere episode, we sit down with two of the founders of Communities First, Sonya Sharp and Dan McLean, to talk about why a group of sitting councillors and new candidates decided it was time to shake things up at City Hall. From skyrocketing taxes and poor transparency to rushed decisions and a growing disconnect with everyday Calgarians, hear how frustration turned into action.

    We'll break down what it means to run as a municipal political party, how there's already been a party that's existed at City Hall these last few years, and why they believe better collaboration is possible. This isn't about ideology - it's about priorities. And it's about time.
