Talking to junior high students about what they would want Calgary to have in order to make their lives better: better and more accessible transit and more recreation centres!!!!!! #yyccc

Alice Lam ੯‧̀͡⬮ - Volunteer I attended a Game Changers conference with HS students a few weeks back and every single group came forward with Calgary Transit improvments as their MOST important issues in the world. The kids are alright - and transit is that central.

DJ Kelly Alice Lam ੯‧̀͡⬮ - Volunteer Calgary Transit This also came up repeatedly and consistently in NEXTCalgary ’s Letters to Council podcast w university students and recent grads.

What comes first? Public transit or dense housing?
