We express much gratitude to Elder Clement Leather and Elder Wanda First Rider for preparing us to receive a traditional Blackfoot name for the Enough for All strategy. Thanks to Elder Clement for leading the ceremony as we gather today near the confluence of the Bow and Elbow
We are honoured to have received a traditional Blackfoot name for the Enough for All Strategy, iih kanii tai staiiwa means everything is there. We sat in circle for ceremony, learned together, and celebrated this significant occasion with drumming and a round dance.
2. Contrary to what UCP Leader said about me in the leaders' debate, I actually HAD done my own analysis of the NDP's costing plan. And I endorsed it.
Please RETWEET this as much as you can. My credibility has been attacked and I need to set the record straight.
Effective early learning and care is shown to reduce strain on the overall public education system, but statistics show a significant number of children in Calgary are not meeting their developmental milestones.

I am proud to be part of the @VibrantCalgary Board and the work that the amazing team does. What is the profile of poverty in Calgary? Read this excellent report to find out - we have some progress, but much work remains - income equality, housing, and other aspects need work
Poverty is about so much more than just income. Over the next few days, we’ll be posting facts from our 2022 Community Wellbeing report to answer the big question: How are we really doing?

Julie Van Rosendaal is the best. Full stop. She puts so much good into the world. This is ridiculous and hateful and sad. I can't even. WTAF is going on in this world we live in???
One in ten people live in poverty in Calgary. @VibrantCalgary released the 2021 Poverty Snapshot highlighting where benefits worked and where folks fell through the cracks.

Today is #December6 the National Day Remembrance & Action on Violence Against Women. On December 6, 1989, 13 women who were engineering students and 1 woman who was an administrator at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal were murdered in an act of misogynist anti-feminist violence.
Pleased that @momentumcalgary is on the @GivingTuesday list again. We could also be in the #poverty & #education category as those are our two charitable objects. Thanks @KarmaAndCents!
Today we’re hosting a conversation with the Enough for All Champions – organizations and companies from across the city who have signed up to move the needle on poverty reduction. #EnoughforAll#YYC
