We did our best to invite all of the City Council candidates in late July 2021. (However, more candidates have been added; while some candidates have sent their regrets due to a previous engagement). In the event you missed the deadline, we are hosting the second all candidate talk on Thursday, August 26th, 2021. 

For the most up-to-date list of candidates, please visit the Calgary Elections website.

Hello Calgary Candidates want to learn about the disability lens this upcoming election?

 Hello Calgary Candidates and friends! 

By now you may have received an invite from us to attend a conversation about what makes a great City. If you are curious about the disability lens, we encourage you to visit our vision! We took the time to link what was important to us to the Citizens Priorities as well as current City Strategic Plans & Services. We hope you find it useful and please let us know if you might like to join us on Thursday, August 19th, 2021, and tentatively another date in the near future. 


Good luck with your door knocking!

An invite to all Calgary Candidates

Members of the Disability Action Hall would wish to extend an invitation to all City Candidates to join us for a conversation on Thursday, August 19th from 6 pm to 8 pm online on zoom.

We ask candidates to please remember to speak in plain language and address the question on these four topic areas:  

"What steps will you take to close the gap when creating a city to include all Calgarians?" 

  • Welcoming and Healthy Neighbourhoods
  • A strong barrier-free City
  • Leadership: and working with the community
  • Working with the province 

Please RSVP to us before Thursday, August 12th to ensure all candidates have an opportunity to share their vision with us. 

Please email us at actionhall@calgaryscope.org to reserve your spot.
