Inspired by all you Calgarians who worked together to elect @JyotiGondek. Calgary was one of the most welcoming and supportive cities I've had the honor to live in. Happy that spirit will continue. Congrats YYC and Mayor Gondek π

πJust completed the Upstanders program @UCalgary! 20 hours of meaningful training including mental health, harm reduction, and being an active bystander. It's empowering to have more tools to help out when challenges inevitably arise. #ucalgarybadges
