The mayor and other leaders are urging Calgarians to be patient and hospitable ahead of the G7 summit in Kananaskis. This is an exciting time for Calgarians. A number of world leaders and delegates will be arriving in Alberta in the coming days for the G7 summit in Kananaskis. The leaders of the world’s seven developed countries are coming for the G7 summit. The G7 countries are Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, the US and the European Union.

Canada took over the presidency of the group in 2025. The summit is from June 15 to 17. For weeks, various forces, including the police and the military, have been preparing for the summit. Mayor Jyoti Gondek and City General Manager Doug Morgan have issued some instructions for Calgarians. The leaders asked Calgary residents to be patient and expect congestion at the airports and in the city. The mayor said the restrictions were necessary, but they were temporary and to ensure everyone's safety.
