Does anybody know anything more about this PAC? I heard they are heavily union backed?

Calgary's Future did indeed endorse a bunch of candidates that were voted in, and yes they were supported by the CUPE and ATU, to the tune of about $1.7M. They're the only Third-Party Advertiser (TPA) to have disclosed any contributions so far (see
https://www.calgary.ca/content/dam/w...2020-12-28.pdf). All the registered TPAs have to disclose their donation lists by March 1 next year. (
