The provincial government's Affordable Housing Task Force will be in Calgary for two community meetings today:
1-3PM and 7-9PM
in Hall B of the MacEwan Student Centre at the University of Calgary
It's very important that as many of us as possible attend these sessions to advocate for serious positive action on the part of our government. They need to be told, over and over again, that housing must not be left solely in the hands of "the market" and that it is in fact a critical social infrastructure that we, as a society, must take collective responsibility for.
These sessions are "open mic" - speakers will be allowed 2 minutes each to speak.
Also, whether or not you attend the sessions, please send your feedback to the task force through their website or by email to: affordable.housing@gov.ab.ca
The deadline is today!
