ABmunis on Bill 20: The introduction of political parties in local elections is a bad idea that most Albertans do not want. We'll say more on Bill 20 next week, once we have had time to consider its effects on local democracy. Media release: bit.ly/44nPqJ6
Division has been called as it sounds like the UCP are defeating NDP MLA Janis Irwin's Bill 205, Housing Statutes (Housing Security) Amendment Act, at second reading.
So … what do people *really* mean when they say they don't like Calgary's proposed upzoning because they want to protect the character of their neighbourhood? My column this week: calgarysun.com/opinion/column… #yyc #yyccc
We want to hear from you! 🍎 🌱 We are creating a Food Resilience Plan that ensures food is consistently available, accessible, appropriate, and healthy for all Calgarians. Visit engage.calgary.ca/food to share your thoughts by May 13.
Great @LiveWireCalgary deep dive on rezoning. "When asked... on the decrease in property values if a fourplex was put next to one’s single-family home, Freemark was blunt. 'There’s literally zero evidence that that is a phenomenon'" livewirecalgary.com/2024/04/19/cal…
Attn #CTRiders and Red Line customers - the Red Line will be closed btwn City Hall/Bow Valley College and Erlton/Stampede stations on April 20-21. Shuttle buses will replace train service btwn these stations. For more info, visit: calgarytransit.com/ctrain-service
The Calgary region and southern Alberta remain in a drought. Today, we announced a Water Reduction Advisory asking Calgarians to reduce their water use and make every drop count. Learn more at newsroom.calgary.ca/water-reductio…
Join us for our next gardening workshop with Janet Melrose on May 7th at the Sunalta Community Hall. We will be discussing the principles of intensive edible gardening. Register now using the link in our bio!
“Anything that can enable different types of homes, and more affordable homes, and anything that is going to enable developers to build homes faster, we are going to be in support of,” said @leeandreacoward about the rezoning proposal in front of #yyccc. calgary.citynews.ca/2024/04/18/cal…
Opinion: More housing needed at all stages of life calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…
"Without action to increase the supply of homes... this dire situation will worsen. The housing crisis will continue to spill over into our streets, workplaces and classrooms. The effects on our labour market, public health system and educational institutions will be profound."

7 steps to fix Canada's housing shortage calgaryherald.com/life/homes/7-s…
In a province without rent caps, Calgary tenants have few options when their landlord jacks up the rent, making renting a precarious choice. With proper “teeth” the proposed Renters’ Bill of Rights could change this. archive.today/nRFEc
April 20-21: #CTRiders please note the Red Line will be closed btwn City Hall/Bow Valley College and Erlton/Stampede stations. Buses replace train service btwn these stations. For details visit: calgarytransit.com/ctrain-service
We are looking forward to working with 20 to 40 different community groups to help them create new utility box artworks in #yyc neighbourhoods this summer. Applications for the first intake are now open! Learn more: cada.at/4aGTeHO #yycArts #yycPublicArt
Varcoe: 'Calgary is Canada’s current housing hot spot' as prices and rents rise — and employers grow worried dlvr.it/T5dmWL
City council recently approved the rezoning of a row of seven heritage houses in the southwest community of Bankview. The new zoning, called Direct Control Heritage Areas, will help preserve the historic character of the section of 25th Avenue S.W. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
Glad CBC is writing about this. Things seems to be getting worse and worse for young people and renters on the housing front. cbc.ca/amp/1.7170775

We'll say more on Bill 20 next week, once we have had time to consider its effects on local democracy. Media release: bit.ly/44nPqJ6
It is vital that we see population increases in communities adjacent to the core, as we know that residents living adjacent to downtown are more likely to visit our city centre frequently and support retailers, restauranteurs, and entertainment venues. #ward7 #downtowncalgary
We ask Council: vote yes to rezoning to ensure gentle densification adjacent to downtown. The City of Calgary is investing millions into downtown revitalization through unprecedented investments in office conversions, critical infrastructure upgrades and activations. #yyccc
Why civic literacy is important: many Calgarians don’t know you can watch the live stream, or email councillors, or what a public hearing is. It’s not really talked about at school either!
Happy Earth Day! To celebrate we've written a blog post about how housing can be affordable and environmentally friendly! Check it out here 👉 calgaryhousingcompany.org/environmentall…
Today marks the start of city council hearings around rezoning. VCC will be speaking this morning as part of the 600+ submissions to share our thoughts on citywide rezoning. #yyccc #rezoning #housing calgaryherald.com/news/local-new…
So … what do people *really* mean when they say they don't like Calgary's proposed upzoning because they want to protect the character of their neighbourhood? My column this week: calgarysun.com/opinion/column… #yyc #yyccc
Spoiler alert: Alpha House supports rezoning and we urge #yyccc to take the necessary steps to increase housing supply and increase housing affordability. #rezoning is one step towards that goal. Read here: alphahousecalgary.com/support-for-re… Diversity in housing strengthens communities!
We want to hear from you! 🍎 🌱 We are creating a Food Resilience Plan that ensures food is consistently available, accessible, appropriate, and healthy for all Calgarians. Visit engage.calgary.ca/food to share your thoughts by May 13.
NEW: Canada is banning “very large corporate investors” from buying existing single-family homes. As Mike notes it isn’t a huge issue yet in Canada, but it IS huge in the United States, so it’s a good proactive move here. Should include other housing types & other investor sizes.
This one is interesting (and I suspect will be quite popular): Canada banning "very large corporate investors" from buying existing single-family homes. I don't think this really happens much at scale in Canada, but boy do I hear people talk about it a lot on Twitter.
