We are thankful that the municipalities and provincial government will continue to work together for affordable transit.
Fair Calgary Community Voices wishes to extend gratitude to Albertans who expressed concern over the province to no longer partner to help offset affordable transit fares for both Calgary and Edmonton to then assist Albertans to attend work, school, places of worship, medical appointments and help reduce social isolation for Albertans in financial need.
