The Calgary Alliance for the Common Good and Action Dignity will be hosting an online mayoral forum. It will focus on issues of truth and reconciliation, the environment, mental health, care for our communities, social inclusion and diversity. We will also ask them about how they will shape the city’s budget, because that is where we get to see what they truly value.

Safe and Accessible Pathways
As summer arrives and pathways are again bustling with Calgarians enjoying the opportunity to get outside, the safety of everyone using the pathways is critical. With many different wheeled devices travelling quickly, interactions with pedestrians can be threatening, especially where disabilities exist that may not be evident to others. Disabilities range from vision challenges, deaf and hard of hearing to users with earbuds restricting their hearing.
