Calgary Southwest
Kelly Christie
Kelly Christie was born in Winnipeg and moved to Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia until finally settling down in Calgary in 1977. He was a member of Cub Scouts of America and graduated from Dr. E.P. Scarlett High School. Kelly is currently working on the high density,
transit-friendly residential buildings near the Heritage C-Train station as a taping supervisor for Baytek Drywall and Stucco.
Kelly is a Calgary Flames fan and enjoys comedy, cooking, drag racing and, of course, politics. Having lived in the Calgary Southwest riding since 1988, Kelly has seen the effects of an absentee Member of Parliament and wants to give the people of Calgary Southwest what they deserve - true representation for their concerns.
In 2008, Kelly received 9% of the vote, coming within 175 votes of the second place Liberal candidate. Kelly strongly believes in ending the prohibition of cannabis and belongs to several advocacy groups: Calgary 420 Cannabis Community, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (civilian member), Marijuana Policy Project, and NORML.
Kelly Christie is the Green Party of Canada's nominated candidate for Calgary Southwest.
