Calgary Councillors Get Big Budget Boost | Calgary News

Calgary councillors are set to get a major budget boost next year—with ward budgets jumping over 20% to nearly $455K, aiming to hit just under $500K by 2030. Supporters say it’s needed to handle population growth, inflation, and rising demands in busier wards, while critics call it hypocritical, arguing current budgets are sufficient and question the timing amid calls for city-wide savings. The city clerk backs the move, saying it’s cheaper than expanding council, which would bring higher salaries and costly renovations. Final approval is still pending.
