That’s right, here is YOUR chance to hang out with Mr. Naheed Nenshi for the day! Spend a day in the mayor’s shoes and make your mark in our city!
This new project is brought to you by Youth Central‘s Mayor’s Youth Council of Calgary and is related to Mr. Nenshi’s 3 Things for Calgary Initiative. Not too familiar with 3 Things for Calgary?

It’s super simple to hand in your application! The Mayor for a Day essay contest is about you and your 3 ideas that you would implement to make Calgary an even better place to live. Think about what matters to you. What kind of changes do you think need to happen in the city? More volunteer opportunities for youth? Better transit services? Whatever it may be, we’d like to hear about your concerns.
Once you have decided on your three initiatives for Calgary that would make it an even more awesome place to live, all you have to do is write an essay of a maximum of 1,00o words.
Make it interesting, tell us why you feel implementing YOUR three things will truly benefit our city. All essay submissions must be completed in the Mayor for a Day Submission Form, which can be accessed on http://youthcentral.com/mayorforaday/. We’ve also got tons of information on our Facebook Page. (Link Below)

When you’re finished your essay, submit it to myc@youthcentral.com or Youth Central, Mayor’s Youth Council Program Coordinator, #820, 105 12 Ave. SE, T2G 1A1. The Mayor’s Youth Council will be reading through these very carefully and send their top picks to the mayor himself for his final approval! How exciting is that?! Don’t wait, start writing your essays right now!
The selected essay writer will receive a chance to spend time with Mayor Nenshi and City of Calgary administration, along with the opportunity to discuss further one of their 3 ideas with appropriate City of Calgary staff. For example, if you wanted to improve aspects of C-Train service in Calgary, let’s just say we’d connect you to the right people. 😉
Remember, this contest is open to youth in Grades 6 through 12, SPREAD THE WORD! Good luck and happy writing!
Don’t forget, the deadline for submissions is March 20, 2012.
