Why

SO SAFE Matters

SO SAFE is more than a campaign slogan. It is Simi Obasan’s framework for building a city that works for everyone. Each letter reflects the values and priorities that Airdrie residents have said matter most: safety, affordability, healthcare, inclusivity, and sustainable growth.

This is the lens through which every decision is made — a promise that no one is left behind.
