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. 

We are holding a Discernment Assembly on Monday September 16th at 7pm at Scarboro United Church. All member institutions are requested to come with their Core Teams ready to vote on the broad campaign topics on which the Alliance will focus our work for the next couple of years. 

On May 3rd the Alliance launched a Listening Campaign, through which we aimed 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.
