'We're basically back at Square 1': Housing advocates urge city council to replace blanket rezoning with new framework for gentle density A coalition of pro-housing organizations gathered Monday to urge local lawmakers not to forget about Calgary's housing needs.

Proud to be a part of this coalition of Calgarians who care.

What We Heard at Calgary’s Rezoning Hearings Evenly Split on Repeal, United on the Need for More Housing

Calgarians have spoken! (Well, 411 of them.)

Here's what we have to say about the public hearing on repealing rezoning.

Perspectives: On housing, Mayor Farkas promised a plan and hasn’t delivered - LiveWire Calgary Believe it or not, Mayor Jeromy Farkas is a member of the More Neighbours Calgary community. During the campaign, he regularly engaged with members on housing and city issues. One phrase came up again...

“Repeal and replace” was a campaign commitment. Making housing more affordable was the goal. It’s time for Mayor Farkas to stand by that commitment, or admit it was never the plan at all.

Opinion: Calgary about to lose affordable edge for first-time homebuyers and retirees calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

Love how the co-authors (@inamteja.bsky.social) and Frank Frey) are identified:

“Inam Teja is a Calgarian in his 20s, and Frank Frey was born in the former general hospital, before it was blown up.”

Straight (progressive) talk about municipal parties:

Terrible to see this happen in our community. I can only imagine what this family is going through 💔

Opinion: The real problem with Calgary’s supervised consumption site — and how to fix it Affordable housing, addiction treatment, and supportive living facilities are the way to create real, lasting safety in our city.

The province of Albert keeps bringing up the idea of shutting down Calgary’s only Supervised Consumption Site. I think that’s a mistake: calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

We need to reverse this trend and the policies contributing to it immediately.

After a quick pit-stop at Erina Bakery, my last Stampede breakfast of the year was at Glenbrook Square! Lots of great businesses, people, and dogs were out celebrating this Sunday!

Last day of Stampede starts at St. Martin’s Anglican Church for another serving of pancakes! St. Martin’s has been an amazing organization- they have so many volunteers always hosting and helping with community initiatives!

Then we hit the breakfast with the best chai! So proud to be a part of the Ismaili community that has embraced what it means to be Calgarian - nothing like a Stampede breakfast in partnership with the Calgary Immigrant Women’s Association!

The Wildwood Community Association throws a great Stampede Breakfast - thank you so much to the amazing volunteers and community organizations that sponsor these events. Calgary wouldn’t be the same without the giving spirit!

Spent the morning at the @ymcacalgary.bsky.social in Rocky Ridge! As Calgary grows, our city needs to invest in more recreation options to keep up!

I also got a chance to spend some time at the Silvera Westview Seniors community in Glamorgan! There’s a massive need for more affordable seniors living spaces in Calgary - next city council needs to address this head on!

Thursday started with the ARBI (Association for the Rehabilitation of the Brain Injured) Stampede Breakfast at their location in Spruce Cliff! I had lots of great conversations about making our city more accessible! Plus they had Therapy Dogs on site!

The Blackfoot Confederacy hosted an awesome event where I got to meet the leaders of Spirit North, an organization that runs sports and recreation programs for Indigenous youth in our communities! I also got to meet some Siksika royalty!

I then got a chance to go to the Otipemisiwak Stampede festival hosted by the Métis Nation! Métis Urban Housing Corporation is doing much needed affordable housing projects across our province, and is looking for the city to be a reliable partner in doing more projects!

After spending the day doorknocking yesterday, I’m back to the community breakfasts - this time at the Shalem Seniors Community! Had a love chat with Marge about the need for more supportive living facilities in Calgary!

Next I spent some time at the @calgarychamber.bsky.social’s Stampede event. I heard from business leaders that our rapid growth can be a big boost to our economy, if we set folks up for success. That means addressing our housing shortage and ensuring Calgary is an easy place to do business!

Day 4 started with the Premier’s Stampede Breakfast. I’m committed to working with the province to keep Calgarian’s tax dollars in Calgary and get the Green Line built from South all the way North!

The Equal Voice Stampede reception was a great chance to talk to some of the women championing important causes across our city! Thanks @ymcacalgary.bsky.social and @discoveryhouse.bsky.social for sharing some of their challenges important things you are working on in our city!

As the former Vice-President of the Coach Hill Patterson Heights of course I had to catch up with friends at the CHPH Stampede Breakfast! One of the important advocacy pieces we worked on was traffic safety, which continues to be an issue across Ward 6.

Day 3 of Stampede in Ward 6 at the Aspen Landing breakfast! Love seeing local businesses at the heart of vibrant neighbourhoods—live music, a petting zoo, and fun for all ages!

Next I got to hit up Westside’s Stampede Caravan breakfast! Recreation spaces are so much more than a location for organized sport - they are true community hubs!

Day 2 of stampede & I’m at the West Springs/Cougar Ridge CA Charity Stampede Breakfast! So great to see this Ward 6 community come together!

Had a blast at the Calgary Construction Association Stampede event. Great conversations with folks about how we can build sustainable infrastructure to support Calgary’s growing population.
