The NDP must STOP lying to Albertans. Our government is investing $377 million for 58 projects, including 11 projects in Calgary. 1/3
Calgary expects 8,000 more students in the fall.
The UCP committed to ONE new school. This comes after years of similar neglect. It's either gross incompetence or just further evidence of completely ignoring this city.
We can do better. We must. Our kids are counting on it.

While all Canadians have a right to protest and express themselves, protests must be peaceful and within the confines of the law.
Schools are not an appropriate place to protest public health measures, as this only serves to disrupt the education of Alberta students...

Ms. Notley, please do your homework. We did NOT cancel the PUF program. In fact, the age for PUF students who can qualify for these supports is as early as 2 years, 8 months of age. (1/4)
The UCP played a shell game with funding for PUF students, canceling supports for children as young as 5-years-old. Now the system is in crisis.
