Yay! I could cry. One of the pieces I edited through my @calgarylibrary / @CBCCalgary writing workshops just got shortlisted for a RTDNA award. Misbah really put her heart into this piece and it opened such a valuable conversation. https://t.co/1hMDD9xWoW

Moving to Canada with a young family was much harder than Misbah Noor expected. Although she believes there is a light at the end of every dark tunnel, it took years to find it in Calgary.

A story for all your picnics... 🙂 I love how the real story behind all of Calgary's parks is a couple key names and lots, and lots, and lots of regular people pitching in. https://t.co/FxnlnDs25m

Why does Calgary have so many gorgeous parks? We called up a couple historians and here's what we discovered.

Do you use the bus or train? Why or why not? If you do, where and when do you feel the most safe or unsafe? We want to hear your on-the-ground insight to help shape this project.
Ecstatic to find out this morning that mine and @estolte 's community driven deep-dive series about safety on Calgary transit has won the @RTDNA_Canada Multiplatform/Continuing Coverage award for the Prairies region. https://t.co/9WzATdUolD

Secret Canada is the culmination of 20 months of investigate work, more than 500 FOIs, 200 interviews, and months upon months of gruelling data work by a team of people. The first part of our reporting is now live. We have much more planned. https://t.co/7lt8qhPA9t

FOI laws are supposed to let Canadians see how governments and public servants work. Yet at every turn, the process gives institutions incentives to keep records hidden

The team I’ve been supporting at CBC has now talked with 100 regular Albertans. And not for just a quick sound bite 🙂 Of note, less polarization than expected, more people angry at mudslinging. Lots of longing for a better path. #ableg #abpoli
