There are over 500 places in Calgary devoted to cultures and spirituality and not one is specifically intended for Indigenous peoples. The Indigenous peoples have been asking for an Indigenous Gathering Place for over 5 years. Such a place matters not only to Indigenous peoples, but to all Calgarians as a space to learn and as a commitment to truth and reconciliation in action.

Victory!

Late last night, Calgary’s City Council voted 13-2 to declare a climate emergency and call to action. This motion included a clear direction to city administration to make Calgary a Net-Zero city by 2050.

ActionDignity and the Calgary Alliance for the Common Good welcomed over 1,450 attendees (across Zoom and Facebook Livestream) for a mayoral forum, bringing together undecided Calgarians on one of the most important Calgary elections in a decade.

You can view the recording of the event on Youtube here or on the original Facebook live stream, here.
