The City of Calgary's 4 year budget deliberations are taking place this year, in late November. This is a great opportunity for our community to advocate for climate focused expenditures. 

Join us for a Housing focused session on Civic Engagement with our partners, ACORN.

This session will provide a broad overview of how our municipal government works, and how you can engage with our elected officials and local policies for equity outcomes. 

Training topics include: 

• A brief intro about city hall and the budget process (how does this whole 'budget' thing work?)
• How to tell a compelling story at city council, and why real stories from real people matter
• The nitty gritty details: how to sign up to speak, how to call in remotely, and how to know when your turn to speak is coming up
• A clear budget ask to council for housing 

Join your fellow Calgarians and help take action for a more equitable, just, connected, and sustainable city! 

November 17th , 6:00pm Sunalta Community Hub 1639 10th ave SW
