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.

 

Each of our member institutions is conducting a listening campaign with their members through either a series of 1-1 meetings or house meetings.

We have included some resources to support your organization in conducting your listening campaign. You are also welcome to reach out to our Organizers for support should you need it. 

• Institutional Listening Response Form
• Listening and Discernment Resource sheets (PDF)
• Listening Campaigns 101 Training Video

We definitely encourage all of our members to participate in your particular institutions' listening campaign, but we also recognize that not everyone will be able to attend those, and also that not everyone has a member institution in the Alliance. While we wish we could have a 1-1 with each of you to hear your stories, concerns and understand where you would like to put your energy, our workaround is that we invite you to fill out an Individual Listening Form for us that will help gather that information.

The information from both the Institutional Listening Response Form as well as individual submissions are instrumental in the discernment process our Alliance will go through as we prepare for our Discernment Assembly in September when we will choose the focus of our work for the next season. The Discernment Assembly will be held on Monday September 16th from 7:00-9:00pm at Scarboro United Church-RSVP and plan to be there so we continue to hear what matters most to you.
