However, the City of Calgary has hired a lobbyist to help it open doors in Edmonton. On behalf of other municipalities in the area, the City of Calgary has retained New West Public Affairs. The assignment: to inform the UCP government about the role of the Calgary Metropolitan Region Board (CMRB), which is currently developing a growth and servicing plan for the greater Calgary area. According to the Alberta Lobbyist Registry, New West will do that by holding meetings, giving presentations and calling various government officials. Besides Monte Solberg, the province's lobbyist registry lists Matt Solberg, Michael Solberg, Sonia Kont and Keith McLaughlin as being engaged on the file.
