Hello residents of Calgary-Foothills! Happy Gurpurab and Happy Diwali to all those celebrating this November. Thank you to all those who attended our Constituency Office Grand Opening. It was great to see everyone; we are truly building a community and I look forward to hosting more events to bring people together.
As your elected representative, I have been connecting with local constituents, schools, places of worship, and other organizations to learn how I can best advocate for our neighbourhoods. Last month, my office hosted a Schools Town Hall where we heard from parents about how we can better support students in our area. My commitment is to continue working with our local School Board Trustees to advocate for more elementary and middle schools in our area and improve our school bus transportation system. There is much work to be done.
In addition to schools, other issues I have heard from constituents about include pensions, affordable housing, cost of living, and clear-cut logging in Kananaskis. Constituents tell me they believe the CPP is a safe, reliable program, and they do not want the UCP Government withdrawing from this retirement savings plan, so I will fight to protect your CPP. I am also concerned that the renewables moratorium signals to investors that Alberta is not open for business. I will continue to meet with technology entrepreneurs to advocate for innovative new technologies in order to grow our economy.
I take your concerns very seriously and look forward to raising these issues in the legislature. If you have a story or concern you want me to share, please let me know.
Finally, I want to remind you that my office is available to assist you with accessing provincial resources and also offers services such as notarizing documents, letters of support, and more.
