Calgary Alliance for the Common Good

We are here to support affordable housing for all Calgarians. No repeal without replacement.

At stake: whether to repeal citywide rezoning with no clear replacement. We believe: No Repeal Without Replacement. This is happening now and it’s not too late to act. Add your voice: calgarycommongood.org/affordable_hou…

Today, Calgary City Council begins a marathon public hearing on the future of housing. Hundreds of Calgarians are speaking. Thousands have already shared their voices. #NoRepealWithoutReplacement Follow the live hearing: calgary.ca/council/counci…

What does a resilient and liveable future look like for Calgary? How can we build stronger connections between communities and land? Join the Climate Justice Community Forum for three virtual sessions this February to discuss these questions. 🌱

Deeply saddened by the tragic school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the entire community. 💔 #TumblerRidgeShooting #StandWithBC

Remembering the Holocaust means choosing courage today; standing against hate, racism, and the exclusion of “the other” in our own communities. One small act of solidarity matters. 🕊 #HolocaustRemembranceDay #NeverAgain #CACG

It is important that we think clearly and broadly about the water main break. Here is a good article to help us do this. calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…

@theannamurphy We send you our love at this time. You have been a light for many. May you be embraced by the light of love that shines, in what ever darkness we walk through.

A water main break reminds us how connected we are. 💧 When one part of Calgary’s system is under pressure, our choices matter. Reducing water use today is a small act of care for our neighbors, workers fixing the line, and our city. Let’s show what community looks like. #yyc

We had a good meeting with Mayor Farkas today to advance community issues. Thanks to our Leaders and to @JeromyYYY and his team.

Beth Stovell, a key leader in our work building the alliance and the co-chair of our Truth and Reconciliation work, has been struggling with some serious health issues. A GoFundMe campaign has been started to support her and her family at this time: gofund.me/0ad8b4598

ActionDignity is conducting a community-based study to understand better how the non-recognition of foreign credentials and the requirement for Canadian work experience affect the daily lives of newcomers, their families, and their broader communities. forms.office.com/pages/response…

Great insights about the needs to reform our justice system. How do we move from a justice system that is a tool of systemic racism to a truly restorative system. #GlobeCommonGround

We are at the Race Relation Forum put on by the Globe and Mail. Key take away so far is how immigrants are being targeted as scapegoats instead of addressing our economic and political failings. Also powerful stories of the lived experience of racism.
