Thank you to everyone who joined a Consultation Meeting or Network Night: we've been collecting feedback on feedback on the living draft of a #CitywideStrategyforAllChildren Please fill out & share the survey (forms.gle/9zr8voXKsihhyp…) so the Strat is robust & full of integrity!

"Neuroscience research could propel change, potentially even swaying policymakers where behavioral data has not." Thanks @Brain_Facts_org @JackieRocheleau for this piece on poverty & children's brain development, and what we may do to intervene. brainfacts.org/neuroscience-i…

What kinds of things might a #citywidestrategyforallchildren include? Better access to screening & early intervention services, perhaps increased investment in research & innovation in the field! Check out this latest from @UBC! med.ubc.ca/news/new-dna-c…

Thank you to everyone who has responded to our survey on the #CitywideStrategyforAllChildren! We've collected over 100 responses since we launched, and as more people take the time to complete, it will give this document more integrity and more stability! forms.gle/MLhV3NBHbnDpke…

We have had such an amazing day of collaborative learning -- so many cross-discipline and cross-sector participants here to learn about the #ImpactOfScreenTime on #EarlyChildhoodDevelopment

A city that supports all children offers flexible options for newcomer and immigrant families to access care and education! Thanks to @CIWA_yyc for this initiative!

Are you the parent/guardian of, or an important adult to, at least one child in Calgary and surrounding communities? We want your input around the possibility of a citywide strategy for ALL children! Please make some time to fill out our survey: forms.gle/vRuDtKUKTJqxtD…

Thanks @CTVCalgary & @sherimadigan: calgary.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=1… #Screentime. It's contentious. We get it. We're writing this from a screen to people reading from screens. Hard to not seem hypocritical. Join us Oct 3 as we find common screen goals and understanding as Calgarians!

We know there is a lot going on right now, and that this has been on your "to-do list" for a while... But spaces ARE going fast (we're not just saying that) and you want to save yours before registration closes! Both Day and Evening: crcpd.ab.ca/program/4644
