Green Line 2024

Breaking: On September 3rd, 2024 Minister Dreeshen (Transportation and Economic Corridors) wrote Calgary's mayor a letter stating that the provincial government is withholding funding for Calgary’s Greenline and demanding yet another review of the project. The last review in 2019 under Kenney delayed the project by two years and drove the cost up by over $1 billion dollars, and this one is going to kill the project all together.  Join us in calling on the provincial government to put people before politics and build the Green Line in a way that serves Calgarians in north and south communities. 

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.

Environment

The Environment team invites us to imagine a brighter climate future. The Environment team, led by our member organization, the Climate Hub, is asking that the City of Calgary build for not just stimulus but substantive, funded climate action for the betterment of our communities.

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.”

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.
