“Being part of Ward 6 for over 23 years, I’ve had the privilege of seeing extraordinary individuals step up to address our community’s needs. It’s always inspiring to witness someone willing to enter the political arena for the right reasons. That’s why I am endorsing Joanne Birce in this election. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Joanne for a few years, and I can confidently say she is one of the most reliable, down-to-earth, and community-driven people I know. Joanne doesn’t just talk about change – she actively rises to the occasion when action is needed most. She is a true community builder who invests her time and energy to ensure that others thrive.
I fully trust Joanne’s ability to represent our community with integrity, passion, and transparency. I encourage you to lend her your support this October. I genuinely believe she will be an effective and tireless advocate for all of us in Ward 6.”
– Jean-Claude Munyezamu, Founder & Executive Director, Umoja Community Mosaic
“I have had the pleasure of volunteering with Joanne on various community boards. Throughout this time, I have observed her extensive professional experience and sincere dedication to addressing community concerns. The residents of Ward Six would be truly fortunate to elect Joanne as their Councillor. She would be poised to make an immediate impact and would approach her role with a level-headed, fair, and inclusive mindset, ensuring that all residents are engaged and represented.”
– Leann Hackman-Carty, Ward 6 Resident
“Leader, Determined, Committed, Kind, Focused, Competent – These are words that come to mind when I think of Joanne. I have had the pleasure of serving on a number of Boards with her.
She always steps up and is always willing to listen and thoughtfully offer solutions based on decades-long community involvement and experience.
We would be very fortunate to have Joanne represent the communities in Ward 6.”
– Carrie Wall, CPA, CA, BComm, Ward 6 Resident
“Having worked side by side with Joanne on a number of campaigns, Boards, and volunteer initiatives here in Calgary, I can confidently speak to her leadership and genuine willingness to listen.
Joanne never loses her focus or passion for this community. She has a proven ability to bring people together, foster consensus, and —most importantly— get things done.”
– Steven McLeod, P.Eng.
“As a University student, sometimes it feels like young people’s voices get lost in municipal politics. That’s why I’m supporting Joanne this election.
Joanne has shown me what a real leader looks like, one whose actions reflect what she says she’s gonna do. She’s been a monumental community advocate in numerous ways. From her involvement on the Wildwood Community Association for over 25 years (longer than I’ve been alive), her advocacy for small businesses and non-profits, or simply just having the chance to talk with her for a moment, Joanne strikes me as the sort of person who genuinely cares about people, Calgary, and the future we’re all building together.
I’m excited to vote in my first municipal election for someone who cares about this generation’s future, and who’s been a dedicated community leader my whole life.”
– Emerson Picklyk, Ward 6 Resident
