Video: Mayor Nenshi's 2012 State of the City address

On Tuesday, January 17, Mayor Naheed Nenshi gave his annual State of the City address at a Rotary Club luncheon. Couldn't make it? Here's the full 30-minute speech.

In a nutshell, Mayor Nenshi's speech touches on the following topics:

• How 2012 will be Calgary's year
• Highlights from 2011
• The growth pressures facing our city and Mayor Nenshi's plans to manage and take advantage of these opportunities
• The latest on the Calgary Poverty Reduction Initiative
• The start of a 30-year plan for Calgary Transit
• How Calgary can better plan and build the communities and infrastructure we all need and want
• An update on building new rec centres in Calgary
• Mayor Nenshi's priorities for 2012 that will set the stage for a strong future for Calgary
• A challenge to all Calgarians to do 3 Things for Calgary

This is the first time we've recorded a full speech by Mayor Nenshi, and we plan to do it more in the future. Apologies for some of the audio quality. We'll try to fix that by next time.
