Dave Taylor, Calgary-Currie

A staunch supporter of grass-roots activism, Dave Taylor has consistently worked to strengthen Calgary at the local level. After a long career giving people a voice and outlet on radio across Canada, Dave chose to enter public service looking to make a positive difference in people’s lives.

As a volunteer for the Feed the Hungry Dinner at St. Mary’s Cathedral and with the Christmas Hamper Program at McDougall United Church, Dave has placed a particular focus upon helping Calgary’s less fortunate. Dave has maintained this focus in public life, receiving support from community stakeholders for the Alberta Liberal Affordable Housing Strategy he developed, and working tirelessly to ensure that every Albertan has a home.

The preservation of Calgary’s green space is also something Dave holds near to his heart. He was involved in the development of the Calgary Urban Parks Project River Valley Master Plan, and as the Founding Chair of the Southland Natural Park Society, successfully lobbied the City of Calgary to protect this area from development. In addition, Dave has been a Stewardship Volunteer at the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary for more than 15 years.

Married almost 24 years, Dave and wife Martha have called Calgary home for more than 22 years. Their kids, Scott and Jenny, were both born in Calgary and have both grown up here.
