Diane Colley-Urquhart

[4] In 2020 Colley-Urquhart was the sole city councillor to vote against renaming Calgary Chinatown's James Short Park, which was named after a leader of the anti-Chinese movement.

"After flying into Buenos Aires and exploring the city, I will embark on an educational expedition voyage on a ship deep into the Antarctic to spend time with the penguins and icebergs… When I am in Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands, I will tip one for each of you and think of you… I will gain insight into global warming — perhaps!

Had her trip not ended early due to mechanical problems, Colley-Urquhart would have missed council's budget review, which is held every year in November.

Geo-Enterprise, which had purchased the Shawnee Slopes golf course, proposed a redevelopment plan which would turn all 18 holes into a mix of approximately 1600 residential properties with community amenities.

The plan includes low-density detached homes, condominiums and a community centre, all  "surrounded by trees, greenery and open spaces," cited Geo-Enterprise.

"We feel cheated," said retiree Joe Tanyi, who bought in the area without realizing that one day the golf course could be sold and redeveloped.

[10] Colley-Urquhart would state "This council, as we have it today, is clearly geared toward less footprint and increasing density in existing communities, irrespective of whether the transportation network is failing.

"[9] In 2020, the Shawnee Slopes redevelopment underwent additional changes as a rezoning application proposed a 24-hour gas bar to replace the original commercial use designated for retail and a shopping centre.

[11] In 2019, Colley-Urquhart raised a motion to Council to close the nine-hole golf course, located on the southwest quadrant of the city.

[12] Colley-Urquhart asked City staff to provide an interim update to council in October 2020 on an ongoing review of all six city-owned golf courses and their potential for sale or redevelopment.

Mayor Naheed Nenshi, who opposed the motion, questioning whether it was too early to make the decision about closing a course while administration worked on a broader review, which is scheduled to come back to council next year.
