Showing Up Matters

I believe leadership begins with listening. That’s why I do my best to be present—in neighbourhoods, at community events, and in conversations that matter to Calgarians. It’s not about having all the answers either—it’s about showing up with humility, being ready to learn, and building trust through real connection.

Accessibility, accountability, and equity are values I carry with me into every space. I’m especially drawn to events that are open to the public or shared afterward, that welcome participation from all candidates, and that make room for meaningful, respectful dialogue. I care deeply about gatherings that are inclusive, free or low-cost, and accessible to people from all walks of life - particularly those who haven’t always felt seen or heard in civic life.

Whether it’s a student-led forum, a kitchen table conversation, or a citywide debate, I’d love to be there! If you’re planning something that brings people together with the goal of learning from one another and imagining a better Calgary, please reach out.

You can email info@jeromy.ca with event details, including format, accessibility, and other participants.

I’m here to listen, to learn, and to keep showing up—for you, for your community, and for the city we all care so deeply about.
