Speakers warned that repealing rezoning without a clear replacement risks deepening the housing crisis and putting more pressure on renters, newcomers, and working families. Calgarians need a plan that matches the scale of the challenge. #yyc #yyccc #AffordableHousing

At a press conference outside City Hall today, community leaders from Calgary Alliance for the Common Good, Calgary Climate Hub, More Neighbours Calgary, and students from the University of Calgary spoke out after Council repealed rezoning without a replacement plan.

@AlexRMcColl @YYCNeighbours Sorry, it missed. We will send the tweet again

@CommonGoodYYC No mention of @YYCNeighbours ?

Repeal of inclusionary zoning passed first reading. No plan yet for a compromise or a replacement. Where is leadership from council on affordable housing? Will it show up after lunch? #yyccc, #yyc,

At council to see if council moves forward with no repeal without a replacement so that we continue to advance the affordable housing strategy and secure Federal housing and transit funding. #yyccc, #yyc,

Last chance to have your say! The public hearing is almost over and it’s close. Pro-housing voices are needed now. You can still: 📞 Call in, or 🏛️ Speak in person Even a short statement matters. Help show Council Calgary supports more housing. #yychousing #Calgary

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…
