Hello, MY NAME IS
HARRISON MURPHY CLARK

I owned and operated Murphy’s Mid-Century in Inglewood, where I’ve been proudly doing business since 2018. That experience, building a small business from the ground up—has shaped my approach to leadership and grounded me in the values of hard work, honesty, and integrity.

Today, I’m honoured to serve as the City Councillor for Ward 9.

Ward 9’s inner-city communities are some of the most unique and dynamic in Calgary. As our city continues to grow, our neighbourhoods are positioned to play a key role in shaping Calgary’s future, and I’m committed to ensuring that our residents have a strong voice in that process.

As councillor, my focus is on restoring trust, strengthening communication, and ensuring that City Hall meets the basic needs of our neighbourhoods. Meaningful engagement is essential, we make better decisions when residents are part of the conversation about their communities.

My background in community relations, management, communications, and entrepreneurship has prepared me to navigate complex issues while staying connected to the people and perspectives that matter most: the residents of Ward 9.

Calgary’s entrepreneurial spirit has always inspired me. It’s built on effort, reputation, and integrity, principles that continue to guide my work every day at City Hall.

I look forward to continuing this journey with you. There is still much to learn, and thousands of neighbours to meet. I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent Ward 9, and I’m committed to serving our community with transparency, dedication, and respect.

A canadian story

Born and raised in Calgary, Harrison, like most Canadians, is the son of diverse immigrant families. German on his mother’s side, his great- grandparents immigrated to Pincher Creek, Alberta in the late 1920s. His maternal grandparents raised pure-bred Holstein cattle in Acme, later Carstairs, Alberta and went on to produce some of the most decorated Holsteins in North American history.

Harrison’s mother moved to Calgary in the 1970s and built a lifelong career in our oil & gas sector where she still works today. Harrison was raised in the city but remained close to his grandparents and the farm, helping out during the summer and at harvest time.

Harrison’s entire paternal family, including aunts, uncles and grandparents immigrated to Calgary in the 1970s from Pakistan, fleeing political and religious persecution as Catholics at a turbulent time in the country's early years. They set out to start over and build new lives in Canada, and did so together.

Harrison’s father worked as a repairman for Sears for nearly his entire career before passing away in 2012. Harrison is of the first Canadian- born generation of his father’s family.
