@LiveWireCalgary Curious if you are live-tweeting the meeting? Or know of anyone who is?

@cmcalgary OMG, it's so stinky out there. I wouldn't call it a nice earthy smell 😂 It was fine at lunch. What is going on?

27% of Canadians identify as having a #disability of some kind, and those who are disabled are twice as likely to be in #housing need, and 4x as likely to become #homeless. We're proud to have contributed to some of this important work with @HousingLogement and @CdnHumanRights.

Our new monitoring project confirms that #PWD are overrepresented in inadequate housing and homelessness. More must be done to address these issues and ensure the fundamental #RightToHousing of people with disabilities. News release with @CdnHumanRights: bit.ly/4c23pHo

Hosted by @AutismSocietyAB the Connecting Communities event was a two day gathering on autism in Alberta. I co-lead day 2 and we focussed was on Indigenous Autism and we centred Indigenous voices. Overall it was a day filled with relational knowledge exchange and connection.

@AutismSocietyAB & @AHNAlberta are conducting a survey to help inform how public policy can best support Autistic individuals in their journey towards housing. If you're on the spectrum/might be, please participate here: redcap.link/1lauof5f

@iceTyyc Wouldn’t it be great if everyone doing those same things had the same opportunity as you? Because right now they don’t. There are 000s of families working their butts off, making sacrifices, and raising kids with “good values” that would love to live in a 4-plex next to you.

@bpincott It’s definitely annoying. I’d highly recommend you read “The End of the CBC?” by David Taras. Excellent book. Super insightful.

@ShantelSherwood I recently learned that 50% of women will have serious pelvic floor issues as they age, including prolapse and incontinence, and the #1 cause of these issues is pregnancy and childbirth. 50% of women!! Now don’t get me started on the healthcare these women are receiving…

Bravo Squamish 🙌 Making it easier and cheaper (by way of saving time) to build desperately needed housing. #yyc 👀

The District of Squamish just passed zoning bylaw amendments taking away public hearings for 100% affordable housing delivered by nonprofits, in all zones

@KelsoDylan It is incredible. And this really puts into perspective the demand on housing. We have definitely not built 2 Lethbridge's worth of housing.
