Happy New Year, Calgary-Klein!
I hope you had a wonderful holiday season with friends and family. As we start this new year, I’m wishing you, our schools, health care facilities, and local businesses a healthy and prosperous year ahead.
Supporting seniors has been on my mind. Did you know the Calgary Seniors Resource Society is right here in the riding? They do amazing work and can be reached at 403-266-6200. If you know a senior, or are one, give them a call! From friendly chats and rides to appointments to help navigating complex systems, their programs make life easier and more fulfilling. They also build meaningful connections between seniors and volunteers.
Health care remains a top concern for residents of all ages. I’ve heard from many of you about long ER wait times, difficulty finding family doctors, rising prescription costs, and reduced eyecare coverage for seniors. I’m advocating for hiring more doctors and medical professionals and strongly oppose the UCP’s plan for for-profit health care, which would allow doctors to bill privately on top of public billing. I believe in a public health care system where you can see a doctor without paying out of pocket.
Want to see how I’m advocating for Calgary-Klein? Follow me on Instagram @lizettendp and other social platforms. Please keep emailing my office, your concerns help me speak up for you at the legislature.
Looking forward to seeing you at local winter festivals!
