April has arrived which means we’re closer to birds returning, trees blooming, and gardening – my personal favourite.
April also means I am back knocking on doors, listening to the needs of the community I serve. Serving the people of Calgary-Edgemont is my passion and my privilege. If you have issues that you’d like me to be aware of, please reach out to my office. I frequently use the letters, emails, and conversations from my constituents when I speak on the floor of the Legislature (with their permission, of course!)
With the release of the 2024 budget, it is apparent that the government’s promises to support Albertans’ education, healthcare, and affordability needs were campaign promises only. This budget will not deal with the major issues facing the province. My colleagues and I will continue to fight for the needs of Albertans. All Albertans.
I’d like to thank the Community Associations of Edgemont and Ranchlands for collecting supplies for my Period Poverty Drive. The response was impressive, and it warmed my heart. It is crucial to raise awareness of this issue: people should not have to choose between feeding themselves and their families or their personal hygiene. During the worst affordability crisis in memory, we need to take care of each other. In honour of this generous response, and to continue to support the people of Calgary-Edgemont, we are going to make the Period Poverty Drive permanent. Please stop by my office to donate supplies. All the items we collect will be distributed directly to people in our community who need them.
When I am home during breaks from the Legislature, I am available for notary services, to issue a certificate for an important milestone like a birthday or wedding anniversary, or to attend community events to celebrate and support the amazing work happening in Calgary-Edgemont.
I hope to see you out in the community soon.
MLA – Calgary Edgemont Julia Hayter proudly serves the following Communities: Dalhousie, Edgemont, Hamptons, Hawkwood, Ranchlands
