Local Liberal Candidate aims to bring fresh perspective to Calgary Signal Hill

by Scott Deederly

(Calgary) – As a proud Canadian and champion of Calgary, Bryndis Whitson wants to represent your interests as Calgary’s newest Liberal MP. Politically engaged since the age of eighteen, with a background in public service, community engagement, and supply chain and logistics, she is hoping to connect with voters on issues ranging from ensuring families can afford the essentials to equipping local businesses to thrive at home and on the global stage.

“As a long-time resident of Strathcona, I have seen firsthand the challenges and opportunities our community faces, and I am committed to making Calgary Signal Hill a place where everyone can succeed,” says Bryndis. As an active community volunteer and multi-disciplined professional, Bryndis has spent years working in the fields of Public Policy & Government Relations, Transportation & Infrastructure, Vocational Rehabilitation, and Youth Engagement. This experience has shaped her commitment to public service: “I’ve seen firsthand how bureaucracy and policy decisions impact people’s daily lives, and I want to ensure Canada is a people-first country, not a paperwork-first country,” Bryndis says.

Among Bryndis’s top priorities for Canada are: ensuring Canada thrives on trade and collaboration not only internationally but interprovincially as well, driving economic prosperity and opportunity for all. She also envisions a Canada where everyone can afford the basic essentials and believes this can be achieved by supporting supply chain improvements and fair competition to reduce the cost of food, and implementing policies that tackle the rising costs of housing. Bryndis also wants to ensure Canada is resilient in the face of world threats and natural disasters, and knows that service, volunteering and advocating for our country are the foundations of a strong nation – she will continue to serve in any role she is fortunate enough to hold and wants to ensure there are opportunities for others to serve as well.

Since 2023, Bryndis has been canvassing the neighbourhood, hosting community gatherings, including senior’s teas and policy chats, and attending local events – listening to residents in the riding, aiming to learn what matters most to them. “It’s not about telling people what is best for them, it’s about listening to their concerns, standing up for their values, and fighting for a stronger future for everyone,” she says.

“Emphasising respectful discourse and collaboration across party lines is key to finding practical solutions nationally as well as those tailored to Calgary’s unique needs,” says Bryndis. Calgary Signal Hill has historically leaned conservative, but Bryndis hopes to shift the conversation. She joins a race that also includes David McKenzie (Conservative), Khalis Ahmed (NDP), Natalie Austin (Green), Grant Stem (PPC) and Paul Godard (CFP).

“This riding needs someone who will fight for it,” Bryndis explains, “and I am ready to bring the drive and commitment needed to be the voice for Calgary Signal Hill in Ottawa.”
