Summary#

Calgary City Council adopted the 2027 Council Calendar and Deputy Mayor Roster on October 20, 2026. The decision sets the regular meeting schedule for Council and its committees and assigns councillors to serve as Deputy Mayor for one month each; City staff say the calendar helps plan and coordinate work.

• Council adopted the calendar in a revised attachment. The meeting dates are not included in the materials provided.
• Council adopted the roster with Councillor Dhaliwal assigned to August and Councillor Schmidt to November.
• The Deputy Mayor acts as Mayor when the Mayor cannot perform the role or the office is vacant. Only one Deputy Mayor acts at a time.

What it means for you#

• Councillors and City staff: They can use the adopted calendar to plan the 2027 meeting schedule and related work.
