David Goldie, former chair of the Alberta Energy Regulator, completed a nine-month investigation into Calgary’s water system and the Bearspaw South feeder main. The report, published by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, identified long-standing systemic weaknesses in the city’s governance, infrastructure risk management, and accountability. Goldie examined over 58,000 city documents and interviewed more than 50 members of administration and councils.
