Calgary Womxn: Taking Strides

This year, we expand on the historical gathering of the Women's March to increase accessibility and participation for those who support gender equity in #YYC.

One of the artists, Sydonne Warren, who will be working on our new! mural on Centre Street (this retaining wall from Samis Rd to 7th) would like to do portraits of people who live or work in Crescent Heights.

Please email her a photo at [email protected] by this Saturday!

Minister Tyler Shandro and his staff politically interfered in a government process to secure a private hospital deal for UCP insiders.

How do we know? There's an audio recording.
