1st-gen immigrant, Skyview resident since 2010. Mechanic at Calgary Transit, dad of 2 sporty boys. Decade of community work—led Gujarati Mandal, earned Queen’s Jubilee Medal. I organize food drives & cultural events to unite us. Running as independent MP for Skyview!
I’m Minesh Patel, a proud immigrant who made Canada my home 22 years ago. Since 2010, I’ve lived in Calgary Skyview, where I’ve raised my family and built deep roots. I work as a Mechanic with Calgary Transit, keeping our city moving, while my wife, Vaishali Patel, serves as a Healthcare Aide in a Seniors’ home, caring for some of our most cherished community members. Together, we’re raising two active boys, ages 11 and 8, who love soccer, taekwondo, cricket, and hockey—keeping us on our toes!
My parents instilled in me the value of giving back, and for over a decade, I’ve dedicated myself to serving Skyview. I’ve held leadership roles, including the longest-serving President of the Gujarati Mandal of Calgary, the city’s largest community organization, and as a Board of Trustee for various community associations. I’m a humble volunteer at heart, always organizing food bank drives, blood donation camps, and cultural programs to foster understanding and unity across our diverse riding. I believe collaboration can achieve anything—no challenge is too big when we multiply our forces. My work has earned recognition, including the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal, an honor I deeply cherish. Now, I’m running as an independent MP to carry Skyview’s voice to Ottawa—bold, free, and focused on our community’s needs. Join me in building a stronger future for Skyview!
