My name is Calvin Goulet-Jones and I am running for Red Deer City Council!

In this video, I discuss the most important challenges facing Red Deer, the experience I bring to City Council, what I believe the role of municipal government should be, and the priorities I would champion if elected. I also share my perspective on past decisions made by Council and how I would approach key issues like taxation, public services, and community safety.
In this video, I address a key question that has come up often during the campaign: whether the City should replace its current City Manager.
