And that’s just the beginning...Read the full blog to see how we’re building a Calgary where everyone has enough, and what’s next as we celebrate 20 years of driving social change. 🔗 buff.ly/405Z7Lq #EnoughForAll #CalgaryCommunity #PovertyReduction #YYCNow

It’s the holiday season, and whether you love this time of year or not, it can stir up complex feelings and mixed emotions. For some it’s a time to connect with family while others may not have family to connect with. But we can all connect with ourselves. Take some time to rest, reflect on your year, and get ready for whatever’s coming next.   ow.ly/NH0A50Uvl1i

Make sure to take some time for yourself this holiday season
