Ward 4 - Mental Health

Will you work with us to further develop and fund a community-based, preventative mental health strategy?  What will you prioritize in developing this strategy?

Answer

DJ Kelly

Yes

  • He will act to bring together the province and the city of Calgary mental health strategies to align them
  • He will bring the province to the table because public safety is the city's responsibility.
  • He will have the city involved in discussing city needs vs rural because the province can not keep its finger on the pulse of all communities.
  • We need to know the priorities for both and how to work together.
  • The city can be an "honest broker" because it has more multicultural issues than rural areas and mental health issues are difficult to discuss in some communities.
