Last year’s King Charles III Coronation Medal recognizes Danny Ng’s decades of tangible service to Calgary—building cross-cultural ties, strengthening Chinatown’s vibrancy, and leading volunteer-driven organizations like the Calgary Dragon Boat Society, Sien Lok Society, the Chinatown BIA, and business networks. It affirms a record of outcomes, not titles: convening partners, fundraising, delivering events safely and on budget, and turning community ideas into visible improvements. That credibility matters at City Hall—Calgarians can trust that Danny shows up, listens, and finishes the job.
Those same skills are exactly what Ward 3 needs from a councillor. Danny’s coalition-building experience translates into practical problem solving on everyday issues: coordinating City departments and community associations to fix basics like snow/ice response and traffic calming; working with small businesses to reduce red tape; and ensuring new growth is matched with parks, transit, and recreation capacity. His volunteer leadership sharpened the habits City Council requires—clear priorities, transparent budgets, safety and accountability, and public reporting on progress.
Finally, the medal underscores Danny’s ability to represent the whole city while staying rooted in local needs. As councillor, he’ll use that network to bring resources to Ward 3, elevate resident voices in major files, and champion inclusive engagement so more families, seniors, and newcomers participate in decisions that affect them. The recognition is a milestone; the mission is ongoing—apply proven community leadership to City Hall to deliver practical results for Ward 3.
