What does Look Forward Calgary do?

• Help Calgarians identify municipal candidates who will build a thriving, resilient, and inclusive Calgary.
• Act as a bridge between communities, political organizers, and candidates to build teams that support and communicate with each other.
• Promote evidence-and-outcomes-based positions on issues that affect the whole city, so the election is about what matters to all Calgarians.
