As we head into May, I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy some time with family and friends over the Easter weekend. I always appreciate the chance to slow down and connect with loved ones — it’s a good reminder of what matters most.
April was full of meaningful moments in our community. I was honoured to join my Calgary colleagues to present the King’s Medal to outstanding community volunteers. Congratulations to Barbara Elms from Edgemont on receiving this well-deserved recognition for her incredible and ongoing contributions to her community.
In the Legislature, I continue to advocate for Calgary-Edgemont families feeling the squeeze of rising costs. The affordability crisis is hitting families hard, and people deserve a government that shows up for them. I’ve also been pushing for better support for women’s services, especially shelters and programs that help those facing domestic violence. These services are vital, and no one should be turned away when they need help.
Looking ahead, May brings Mother’s Day and Sexual Violence Awareness Month — both reminders of the importance of supporting women and families in our province.
As the weather warms up, I’m looking forward to seeing many of you at community events, or while I’m out door-knocking. If you see me out and about, please come say hi to me, I’d love to chat with you.
For updates on what I am doing as your MLA, you can also follow me on social media @NDPJulia.
My team and I are here to help. Whether to hear your concerns or help with provincial matters, please reach out anytime at [email protected] or 403-288-2253.
Take care, and I’ll see you in the community!
