Join Us for a Calgary-Fish Creek Town Hall
As we prepare for the upcoming fall session in the Legislature, I’ve been hearing from many of you on a wide range of important topics. To continue these valuable conversations, I’m excited to invite all Calgary-Fish Creek residents to an open town hall. This is your opportunity to share what matters most to you, so I can effectively represent our community in Edmonton.

As we head into the second month of the school year, students’ mental health is top of mind. The Alberta government has extended the Mental Health in Schools pilot program to ensure students have access to additional mental health support in schools this year. When a student’s mental health needs are met, they learn better, achieve more, and have healthier and more fulfilling relationships, which is why our government is investing $6.7 million to support 350,000 students across 79 school divisions. This pilot program has supported school divisions in launching locally developed initiatives that include hiring in-school psychologists and social workers, mental health literacy programs, and professional development and training for staff.
If your child is struggling with mental health, The Summit Centre for Youth Resilience is a great free resource, designed and built to provide mental health services for children and youth. The centre offers therapeutic support through a day hospital and community-based treatment. It also provides walk-in services for anyone under 18 years of age and their family who would like to speak with a counsellor. Walk-in services do not require a referral and are available from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, seven days per week. The Summit can be reached at 587-534-7200 or [email protected].
If you have any questions or input, please feel free to reach out to my office at [email protected].
