Right now rising housing costs are contributing to an #affordability crisis in #yyc. The average rent rose a shocking 22% in the last year, while the cost of buying a home is seeing the fastest increase in the nation. Demand > Supply. #yyccc #yychousing

To close out #NationalVolunteerWeek, we'd like to thank all our volunteers who helped out in groups this year. Companies from all over Calgary stepped up to fundraise, to prep food, to decorating new homes, and more. We're so grateful and you are so valued! #yycvolunteer

The Musical Journey kids and their parents drove by the windows of Bethany Cochrane with signs and music to visit the residents! Both have missed each other’s visits, so this made everyone’s day. #COVID19AB #AlbertaCares #BethanyCares #BethanyCareSociety #WereInThisTogether

For every retweet this receives, @ArleneDickinson is donating $1 (up to $10,000), to the @CalgaryFoodBank!
In times like these, the generosity and community-minded spirit of Calgarians is needed more than ever.
Every $1 in donations buys $5 in food.
