@VibrantCalgary Thank you for your advocacy and leadership!

Every day we hear the stories of people struggling with rising rents and the risk of eviction. We're pleased Calgary City Council has moved forward with rezoning plans to reduce the costs and timelines for permit approvals and allow for greater housing variety and options. #yyccc

@tanya_fir Merci beaucoup pour votre leadership Ministre!

I am pleased to be joined by François Eudes & Nathalie Lachance, to present the details of a new action plan for the implementation of the Francophonie Policy, which aims to improve government services offered in French to support the Alberta Francophonie. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Calling #abnonprofits! CCVO wants to hear your financial woes and wins. Which activities are getting funded? Which aren’t - and you wish they would? Your feedback will inform a Provincial Budget submission, recommendations to funders, and more. 👇

@esmahanyyc Really great work team Rakhi!

So incredibly proud of you and the whole team, Rakhi. ❤️

@pancholi_rakhi You have run a spectacular race and shown your fierce and amazing leadership!

Running for Alberta NDP leader has been the honour of my career. I’m so proud of the bold, hopeful and optimistic story we told about Alberta. But today, I’m ending my campaign to support Naheed Nenshi in our shared goal of growing this party in every corner of our province.

@tanya_fir @AFA1991 @nmc_canada This is such a wise investment! Thank you for your leadership @tanya_fir

Art brings us together, it creates vibrant communities and it humanizes us. Alberta’s government is proud to support the arts in Alberta. #AlbertaArts #YYCarts #YEGArts @AFA1991 @nmc_canada

@alexsarian I would muse that the arts are incredibly adaptive, innovative and evolving in real ways every day - could more be done? sure. The sector is struggling under the weight of many external factors, shedding light on this in constructive ways is part of how we move forward together.

Sunday musings: If the arts are truly essential, necessary, and pivotal to who we are as a society, then our sector needs to start behaving like it. Our shortcomings are nobody’s fault but our own. *end*

We launched a big report yesterday that looks at how our vital nonprofit sector is doing. Find the whole report at calgarycvo.org

The 2024 Alberta budget will be released Feb 29. Join us for an analysis on what the budget means for nonprofits at our Budget Analysis and Political Gossip with Friends event March 5. eventbrite.ca/e/budget-analy…
