This strategy is years in the making. Work that we have done during the #KeepCalgaryStrong Campaign, ongoing engagement with the city, the city's listening session with our members and our mental health advocacy, has all helped shaped this strategy and get it this far.
The next step is this push over the finish line to get council's endorsement.
We ask you to contact the Mayor and your local councilor to support this strategy.
Please click on your councillor's email to begin sending an email.

From our research over the last year we have identified three areas we believe will make a significant positive change in the mental health and wellness of all Albertans.
