Conversation Calgary II Essays
What if Bob Hawkesworth asked you…
“What concerns you most about our city’s future?”
Last May, Bob asked citizens that question. In a unique, full day conversation, 6 themes of common agreement emerged on how to sustain Calgary’s quality of life into the future:
-
Urban Mobility and Design
Citizenship
Enabling Economy
Environment
Culture and Community
Social Justice

UPDATE
To get our conversations started on October 31, a number of prominent Calgary leaders have shared their thoughts and knowledge about Calgary’s choices and possibilities.
Their answers may surprise, inspire, or agitate. You may approve of their conclusions or you may not. Whatever your response, these “conversation starters” are intended to help you clarify what is important to you when you think about the future of our community. Please review these, as you have time, in the next few days. And thank you again for being willing to come with the answers that you want to share with others on October 31.
