Green Line 2024

As of September 17, 2024, Calgary City Council voted to wind down the Green Line project.  However, we continue to engage with the province to urge them to work collaboratively with City Council to salvage whatever work can be and minimize the cost of winding down the contracts by seeing where there are potential overlaps in the province's vision and the previous Green Line. We are encouraged that Mayor Gondek and Premier Smith have been able to have two productive meetings to that effect, and we have heard that our advocacy with the province was key in moving them to collaborative action.

Listening Campaign 2024

On May 3rd the Alliance launched a Listening Campaign, through which we aim to hear and understand the concerns of as many Calgarians as possible. The information gathered through this campaign will inform the issues we bring forward to the Discernment Assembly this fall, where we will choose the which campaigns/issues the Alliance will focus on next.

We Build Leaders

“I went to the training and discovered practical ways that I can build relationships and take action to bring about change in our city.”

Learn About Leadership Training

The Calgary Alliance for the Common Good is everyday people taking powerful action together for the common good.

We develop the diverse voices of our community, building relationships across religious, racial, class, and neighborhood lines.

Then we knit them together one by one to build the power to make the positive changes they want to see in our community, making our shared home a better place to live and thrive.

Green Line to Eau Claire advocacy successful!

Victory! In June of 2024 Calgary Alliance turned up our advocacy efforts regarding the Green Line, asking council to ensure the Green Line would get built to Eau Claire. We are pleased to say that council voted on July 30th, 2024 to ensure a revised Phase 1 would still go to Eau Claire, as a key part of our messaging was that the Green Line needs to be built so that it can eventually serve North Calgary. Had the downtown section been scrapped and the core of the line not built to go to Eau Claire, we despaired of whether this transit line would ever make it over the river.
