More than two million was spent by Third Party Advertisers (TPA) in Calgary’s 2021 municipal election to aid candidates or issues in the lead up to the October vote.

Below is a breakdown of each of the TPA expenses. You may recall in a previous LWC story that donor names were redacted. Calgarians won’t know who this money came from.

Overall, Third Party Advertisers spent at least $2.23 million in advertising and other related expenses throughout the 2021 campaign.

Of these, Calgrians for a Progressive Future spent the most at $1,615,304, and ABC Ward 12 YYC the least with $625.
