About the policy

  • Set standards to identify, prevent, and address conflicts of interest;

  • Safeguard The City of Calgary’s reputation and interests by establishing parameters that ensure objective and impartial service delivery.

The policy addresses the following key topics:

  • Outside interests

  • City assets

  • Private or personal interests, and private gain

  • Confidential information

In 2025, the policy was updated to reinforce the responsibility of City employees to uphold the highest standards of ethical behavior in their duties. The City is committed to fostering a transparent and trusting relationship with the public, which requires identifying and managing any situations that could be perceived as conflicts of interest, even if they are not direct conflicts. This approach ensures transparency and supports The City’s dedication to delivering objective and impartial services.
