Ward 14
Ward 14 is a south Calgary ward sandwiched between Ward 12 and Ward 13 to form Calgary’s southern border. Its boundary is Macleod Trail in the west, and the Bow River and then Deerfoot / Stoney Trail in the east.
There are 14 communities in this ward, with many of them established communities, however, there are two newer communities on the southernmost portion, and one still-developing community.
According to the 2021 federal census, 86,450 people were living in the ward. With Calgary’s substantial population growth over the past four years, and some new community growth, the population number is likely modestly higher.
The seven candidates hoping to represent Ward 14 are:
