Step up, support Calgary's low-income transit pass, and stop playing political "hot potato" with our most vulnerable.
If you can find $1.2B for a new arena for our wealthiest, you can find $15M to support this essential service.

We really do need your help here folks. Last week we helped 54 kids at the @FlamesSportBank and I gave our last pairs of size 6 and 7 ice skates. Any thing you can do to help goes a long way towards getting kids off the bench and into the game!
We are dangerously low on equipment!
Thankfully, we found skates for ALL four kids in need last week. However, this highlighted our dangerously low stock levels. Please share this post if you are unable to donate equipment.

The North Stars are doing a stick drive! Do you have gently used junior or intermediate sticks to donate?
Sticks will be accepted at the NE Sportsplex until Sunday, November 12th. Help us fill our stick rack so we can get more kids in gear this season.
#SoAllKidsCanPlay
The junior and intermediate stick rack at the @FlamesSportBank is really low on inventory. As we help more kids than ever in 2023 we need more help from the community. Drop off your gently used sticks at any @WoodAutomotive location and our team will get them out to local kids!

As Heather Cowie, Mary Morgan, and Bob Young write, more investment is required "to identify and measure health outcomes and ensure every Albertan has the opportunity to access (sport, physical activity and recreation) and the benefits it provides."

Today we announce a significant donation to 5 recreational spaces in Calgary in partnership with @ParksFdnCalgary — the $400,000 donation will support 3 bike pump tracks & 2 community revitalization projects! 🚲🚲🏀🏒
In April, we gave out 1,092 pieces of equipment to 184 kids��plenty of hockey gear as the season wound down and lots of soccer equipment as the outdoor season starts up!
Every piece of gear donated is a new opportunity for a deserving kid. Thank you!
