Calgary Mountain View

Dear Constituents,

We are wrapping up our holidays and heading back to work and back to school in September.

We had a great summer with many successful activities in Calgary Mountain View. In July we hosted our Annual Stampede Breakfast, with a huge turnout thanks to the hard work of my staff Janice and Josh as well as Board members and so many volunteers. Thank you to them, and everyone who came out!

Later in the month, Alberta Liberal Leader David Khan and I started an EMS hotline: 1-888-442-4664 and Albertans flooded us with calls with their concerns about delays in response times and wasted hours waiting in ER hallways. We will use this information to build solutions and continue to push the government for changes to improve EMS service for all Albertans.

I have nominated the Arusha Centre for one of Canada’s Volunteer Awards for its efforts helping the Calgary community. Some of their outstanding social innovations include Calgary Dollars, Take Action Grants, and Open Streets Events. I highly recommend you check out how the Arusha Centre is helping Calgarians and needs volunteers and donations to continue their great work.

Please contact our constituency office if you need help accessing Alberta Government programs including low income support programs such as A.I.S.H. or Alberta Works. We can help you.

Dr Swann and ALP Leader David Khan look forward to seeing you at these upcoming events:

September 2nd: We will both be marching in the 2018 Calgary Pride Parade – celebrating Calgary’s diversity!

September 18th: We will both be fundraising with sponsorships for Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, which raises money to help women and children walk away from violence.

September 28th: We will both be participating in Orange Shirt Day. It recognizes the harm done to residential school students and shows a commitment to the principle that every child matters.

We encourage everyone in Calgary Mountain View to join us!
