YYC Lawyers: Court Robe Bank inventory is not being returned in a timely manner, or at all. Please spread the word to encourage colleagues to return borrowed robes. We would like to maintain the honour system...and we can't handle that YEG is better at this than we are. 😲
Thanks to ActionDignity's member organizations and partners who attended and supported the event, this week, we are celebrating what we accomplished together with the Calgary Alliance for the Common Good - Getting the City of Calgary's Affordable Housing Strategy Passed.
What a week!
Yes, the housing recommendations passed.
But there's more work to be done.
Keep your eyes on council in the months and years ahead.
