Hello, residents of Calgary-Foothills! I hope you have been having a safe, warm, and wonderful December, and are looking forward to the holiday season. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Heri za Kwanzaa and best wishes to all who celebrate by spending time with friends and loved ones.
Alberta’s MLAs have been in Edmonton for the Fall session since October 30, and my NDP official opposition colleagues and I have been fighting for you. After my Constituency Office Grand Opening, I hosted a Town Hall in the community to discuss the need for more local schools in our area. I thank the residents who attended these events for sharing their thoughts and perspectives. I will continue to call on the government to ensure Calgary Foothills residents have the schools we need in our neighbourhoods, and that our existing schools have adequate funding.
Another major concern for residents is the government’s willingness to move Albertans out of the Canada Pension Plan and replace it with an Alberta Pension Plan. Policy experts, businesses, employees, and retirees are all opposed to this idea. The CPP is one of the best managed funds in the world, providing stability for your retirement savings. Leaving the CPP will risk your retirement savings, something constituents have told me they do not want. I oppose the removal of the CPP and will fight to protect it.
I am also continuing to fight for policies to improve affordability, healthcare, transit infrastructure, and our tech economy. If you have an issue, you want me to work on, please let me know – my door is always open to you. Finally, I want to remind you that my office is available to assist you with accessing provincial resources and offers services such as notarizing documents, letters of support and more.
