@BlairCosgrove So good! Some of our downspout water appears to have asphalt shingle bits. Will strain before using it to water plants, wash floors. Won’t be consuming it. 💦

We have officially been given the green light to start construction of 70 new rental homes – a small but meaningful contribution to the 3000 affordable units Calgary needs every year! #yychousing

@MarinaGiacomin @JyotiGondek Sure does! Action 1.C.1 on page 21 of the housing strategy seeks to encourage and welcome affordable, non-market housing in all communities.

Great news from Halifax tonight during @NAIG2023 - Calgary has officially been awarded the 2027 North American Indigenous Games!

So much gratitude to Indigenous elders & leaders who were strong advocates. Excellent bid coordination by @TourismCalgary.

Thank you @naigcouncil!

5% of rentals units available to the 20% of Calgarians with the lowest income. This data points to problems we need to pull every possible lever on. https://t.co/Xm2g6VAota

Your Saturday morning coffee read.

Many councillors pushed for more public input on housing - particularly the R-CG issue.

We looked into the value of further review. #yyc #yyccc #calgary
