Low-Income Banking Project

Today I launched the Low-Income Banking Project.

This has come out of my election campaign for the board of directors of First Calgary Savings & Credit Union. In my campaign I received tremendous support for my low-income banking proposal. While the force of inertia has prevailed at First Calgary (all 3 incumbents retained their seats on the board - not surprising in a city that has about a 98% rate of return for incumbents), the forces of change in the community are coming together.

(The extremely strict campaign rules prohibited me from publicly discussing it while the election was on. Otherwise, I would have done a bunch of blogging about it.)
