Meet Harrison Clark, small business owner, Calgarian, and community advocate.
MY VALUES ARE
AFFORDABILITY
Tax revenue comes from both commercial and residential taxpayers—and as a small business owner and resident, I pay into both.
I believe in a basic principle: value for money. Right now, many Calgarians feel they aren’t getting fair value from the taxes and rising costs they’re shouldering.
The core responsibility of City Council is to deliver essential services—efficiently, effectively, and transparently. That means ensuring every dollar spent works harder for the people who pay it.
HOUSING
Accessible housing is top-of-mind across the country.
Young people are coming of age in communities they can no longer afford to live in. It’s a reality playing out everywhere—and it’s one we must work to change.
I live in a 1956 townhouse, built with the support of the City of Calgary in partnership with other levels of government under the Veterans Land Act. It was part of a vision to ensure military families in the post-war years had a place to call home.
Our grandparents did this work. So can we.
THOUGHTFUL REDEVELOPMENT
Redevelopment in Ward 9 must honour the historic character of our communities.
We’re talking about some of Calgary’s oldest neighbourhoods—places where families have lived for decades, even generations. The neon signs along International Avenue and the sandstone and brick buildings of 9th Avenue may seem small, but they speak volumes about the spirit of these communities and the identity of our city.
Density and heritage don’t have to be at odds. With care and intention, we can grow while protecting what makes these places meaningful. Development should add to our story—not erase it.
COMMUNICATION
Communication is the cornerstone of effective leadership. City Councillors must speak to Calgarians with clarity and respect—treating people as informed participants, not passive observers. That means being transparent about decisions, expenses, and the issues that affect our daily lives.
The work ahead will demand the attention and input of an engaged public. It’s our responsibility to create a collaborative environment where that engagement is not only welcomed—but made possible.
SAFETY
Every Calgarian has the right to feel safe—to ride transit and walk through their neighbourhoods without fear or regular exposure to extreme or disruptive behaviour.
But safety isn’t one-size-fits-all. Each community has unique needs, and we must work with them to develop solutions that are effective, compassionate, and grounded in lived experience.
INDEPENDENT
CANDIDATE
For the first time, political parties and slates of candidates will be allowed to participate in Calgary’s municipal election.
But our communities are best served by leaders who are focused solely on the needs of the people they represent—not party lines or special interest agendas.
I’m running as an independent candidate because I believe in carrying the voices of Ward 9—not the directives of a party leader.
