Calgary’s Chinese community has long been one of the leading ethnic communities in Canada, serving as a prominent example for many cities across North America.  With a new mayor at the helm of Calgary, what will the future hold for Calgary’s Chinatown, its businesses and residents, and the greater Chinese community?

As Calgary’s 36th mayor, a passionate Calgarian and an accomplished business professional, how does Mayor Nenshi plan to engage and activate the Chinese community?  What plans does Mayor Nenshi have to further the revitalization of Chinatown?  How can the Chinese community get involved in this great city and be heard?  How can we work together with Mayor Nenshi to make Calgary a better place to live, work, and play?
