Catching Up With Calgary Mayor Farkas At FCM

Canada's downtowns are the economic engines of our communities, driving investment, creating jobs, supporting local businesses, and shaping the daily lives of residents across the country. Recognizing their importance, the Big City Mayors' Caucus, representing 23 of Canada's largest cities, has come together to advance a series of priorities aimed at strengthening downtown cores and supporting long-term economic growth.As Canada works to attract new investment and build a stronger economy, municipal leaders are emphasizing that vibrant, safe, and prosperous downtowns are essential to achieving those goals. The country's big-city mayors are united in advocating for practical solutions that address both local challenges and national priorities.During the caucus press conference, Calgary Mayor Jeromy Farkas was among the municipal leaders in attendance. Following the event, we had the opportunity to sit down with Mayor Farkas for a one-on-one conversation. We discussed several issues important to Calgarians, including public safety, how he and the new council are working together to address the city's challenges, and what residents can expect when it comes to property taxes.-----Support The Show Today: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/support-the-showJoin The Show: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/be-part-of-the-show ------Listen To The Show:Apple: https://apple.co/41p5I2ISpotify: https://bit.ly/3tkvb0E YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/crossborderinterviewswithchrisbrown------Follow Us On Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crossborderpodcast/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/crossbordernetwork.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.net/@crossborderpodcast Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/CrossBorderInterviews/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/crossborderinterviews/ Website: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/Municipal Affairs is Part of The Cross Border Network©2026
