Ward 2 Food Bank Initiative
The face of hunger is not only the homeless in our city; it could be the family next door. In the past year, a typical Ward 2 hamper request came from a household whose monthly income was $1,825. With monthly expenses at $1,450, this wage was insufficient in covering the cost of their basic needs. Reasons behind hamper requests may vary, such as insufficient fixed government benefits (26%), unemployment (15%), and/or reasons related to COVID-19 (13%). (Stats from the Calgary Food Bank Ward Profiles).
This December, I invite you to join me in donating to the Calgary Food Bank by visiting the Ward 2 donation page until December 11. You may also donate non-perishables at any local grocery store, or donate perishables directly to the Food Bank warehouse at 5000 11 Street SE.
Snow Route Parking Bans
Before heading out this December, know which streets have parking restrictions by using The City’s online map that shows banned parking locations. This map shows where parking is temporarily restricted on designated snow routes across the city. Parking bans may last up to 72 hours following a parking ban being issued by The City. View the map at https://maps.calgary.ca/SnowRouteParkingBans/.
