Supply Management
The City of Calgary makes thousands of purchases each year to deliver the services Calgarians depend on every day. The Supply Management team ensures that The City receives the best value for the public funds that are spent and that all purchasing takes place in an open, fair and transparent manner that is compliant with public procurement law and trade agreements.

Bill S-211, Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act
The Government of Canada’s Bill S-211, Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act increases awareness and transparency of forced labour and child labour risks. It drives businesses to ensure that exploitative practices are addressed and removed from their supply chains.
The City of Calgary strives to work with suppliers who meet the highest integrity standards that align with our corporate values and behaviours. The 2024 Report on Bill S-211 Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act outlines the measures we’ve taken in 2024 to mitigate the risk of forced labour or child labour being used either directly by The City or within our supply chains.
