Lindsay Luhnau has been proud to call Calgary Centre home since 2005. With a no-nonsense approach to fostering local growth, sustainability, and meaningful engagement, Lindsay is dedicated to improving her community for individuals and businesses alike. As the Director of Local Investing YYC, an impact investment co-operative, she connects Calgary-based businesses with community capital that drives financial, social, and environmental returns. She’s all about empowering local businesses and building a future that’s resilient, sustainable, and ready to take on whatever the world has to offer.

Lindsay has had a very community and business oriented career in public service. She’s spent over a decade building authentic relationships with businesses, residents, and organizations while tackling the tough issues of infrastructure planning and construction. Her previous roles as an Environmental Outreach Coordinator, and Communications Liaison, have given her a strong foundation in public relations, environmental sustainability, and community engagement — she knows how to get things done and make a real impact.

Lindsay holds a Masters of Education in Adult and Workplace Learning from the University of Calgary, and a Community Economic Development Certificate from Simon Fraser University. A proud recipient of the Queen’s Jubilee Medal for her contributions to public service, Lindsay also won the 2014 Social Innovation Challenge for creating a cooperative to help seniors stay in their communities. Lindsay is passionate about fighting climate change with practical, system-level solutions, and she believes in the power of local democracy to drive the sustainable change we need.

Through her career, volunteer work, and her unapologetic commitment to her community, Lindsay is ready to bring her bold vision to Ottawa. She’s here to advocate for Calgary Centre with a fierce focus on inclusive growth, environmental stewardship, and community resilience — no fluff, just results.
