Keep Calgary strong - Calgary budget

11/18/2019

Calgary City Council starts to hear from the public about budget cuts on Monday, November 25th. Join Keep Calgary Strong on the morning of November 25th to make your opinions heard concerning upcoming budget cuts.

Keep Calgary Strong has identified two asks to the city for the upcoming budget:

Maintain current transit services and fare structure (Concerning 330,000 Calgarians). Specifically, preserve the low-income sliding scale pass at the current rates. The 62 000 Calgarians who utilize the Band A pass live on less than $12 000 a year and are telling us that the 250% increase in cost is not something they can afford. We also ask that no further decreases in service hours be made as transit is a life-line for so many Calgarians to get to work, school and services.
To not cut libraries, community social workers, and other community services. These services make our city resilient and livable and are a life-line for the whole community, not just the 122 000 Calgarians living on low-incomes.

If you are unable to attend City Hall on November 25th, you are invited to use Keep Calgary Strong's form letter found here to let your mayor and city Councillors know that you stand with Keep Calgary Strong.
