Caring for Calgary

Shaping Calgary's Future Caring for Calgary

Public services in action.

Every day, Calgary’s public service teams are hard at work, ensuring our city runs smoothly and safely. From maintaining roads and delivering clean water to protecting neighbourhoods and supporting local businesses, these essential services keep Calgary moving.

But beyond the tasks, there’s a deep commitment to the people behind them—neighbours helping neighbours, workers taking pride in their city, and a shared mission to make life better for everyone.

Whether responding to emergencies, improving infrastructure, or providing vital resources, we’re here for Calgary, ready to serve, ready to care, and always working to make a difference.
