Good reminder of Naheed Nenshi that enoughforallyyc is grounded in principle of 'my neighbours' strength is my strength'. Wisdom originally shared by Cesar Cala Poverty Talks! #InternationalDayfortheEradicationofPoverty

Thank you Vibrant Communities Calgary - VCC & enoughforallyyc for hosting today's event celebrating the International Day to Eradicate Poverty (every year on October 17). It's remarkable to learn more than 189,000 Calgarians are living low income. #enoughforallyyc #IDEP2020

Wow, I just finished the book Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell, a very good read. I especially liked the part where he writes, "To assume the best about another is THE trait that has created modern society. (Continued in the next tweet 1/2)

...The occasions that violate our trusting nature are tragic, but the alternative to abandon trust as a defence against predation and deception... that alternative is worse." (2/2)

More condemnation of Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 's horrible draft curriculum. Treaty 6 is rejecting. Comes on top of the Metis Nation of Alberta doing the same earlier today. Clearly, the Premier needs to pump the brakes on this awful work immediately. #ableg #abed

Agreed, the curriculum students are learning should not be determined by a political party or government official who is not a subject matter expert in education or has the accreditation or support of the community to do so.

For five decades, Kananaskis Country has been free for Alberta families to visit. 
Then Jason Kenney came along… cbc.ca/news/canada/ca… #ableg #yyc

Agreed, why isn't there a year-round Farmers Market in #yyc? I saw a community food and flower stall on Pender Island and you could take or leave items on an honour basis. There was even a can with money left for the farmers.

Agreed. Having public access to our Provincial Parks is what many had envisioned when they were established as parks. We should honour that legacy. Imagine if you had to pay to access the ocean.

Wow, love that Naheed Nenshi mentioned Dr. Ron Glasberg from U Calgary during the United Way of Calgary and Area #BeUnited campaign kickoff sharing Dr. Glasberg's teachings when at times of tragedy, there is time to get to a new place of transcendence.

Here's the incredible Team I work with Vibrant Communities Calgary - VCC!

Good morning #YYC! In this week's newsletter we share information about how Alberta and the Government of Canada have signed a childcare agreement, VCC's recommendations for Calgary City Council & more. mailchi.mp/vibrantcalgary… #enoughforall #enoughforallYYC #Calgary #PovertyYYC

It’s a full (digital) house. Elder Clement Leather begins with a blessing. Next comes board leaders Cori Ghitter and Adam W. Legge, who start us off with a message about the importance of lived experiences in advocacy, Reconciliation, childcare and what work still needs to happen.

Monthly utility bills in Alberta are too damn high. RT if you agree. #ableg #BringBackTheRateCap

It's Day 3 working at SAIT & I met the nicest gentleman who is the proud owner of this 1938 Dodge Coupe. I learned about what makes a community of car enthusiasts live life to the fullest. #dodgecoupe #1938dodgecoupe #1938Dodge #dodge #classicdodge #dodgebrothers

As a mother of a young child who is not eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, I will continue to wear a mask in public spaces and practice safety measures. #COVIDAB

It is truly heartbreaking what is happening in Ukraine 🇺🇦. This War is senseless and a travesty. It needs to end now. #Ukraine️ #StopPutinNOW #StopRussia #StopWar #StopWarInUkraine
