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 on Zoom on November 19th to learn how to speak at a municipal public hearing, why it matters, and important tips for effective advocacy.

This session will focus on cycling infrastructure, and is in partnership with Bike Calgary, however the lessons and skills learned can be adapted to other climate related budget requests. 

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

We hope to see you there!
