Demanding people stop sharing old data when you won't provide current data is not a sign of a competent government with a credible plan or solution. Our communities & family, friends & neighbors in need deserve better. We can't trust a government that won't be straight with us. #ableg

The UCP government is refusing to share data on how many people have actually been housed through their Navigation Centre. If it’s the successful solution they claim it is, they should be proud to share data that proves it. If not, there’s significant work to do before winter hits. #ableg

Edmonton city council wants more data on Alberta's navigation centre. City's response to homeless encampments will be the same this winter.

On Friday, the University of Alberta Black Faculty Collective brought African, Caribbean & Black leaders together to explore how we can work together to get some good things done for ACB Albertans. A big thank you to everyone with the BFC who worked to make the evening possible. #ableg

We honor the children who never came home & acknowledge the legacy of trauma still borne by survivors & their descendants today. And I stand committed with my colleagues to do the work required to build healing & reconciliation. #ableg

In 2015, the TRC of Canada wrote that reconciliation requires: “awareness of the past, acknowledgement of the harm that’s been inflicted, atonement for the causes, & action to change behaviour.” Today we remember the deep damage done through the residential school system. #ableg

It was an honour to attend the Police & Peace Officers Memorial Day ceremony at the Legislature today. Each year we pay tribute to those who’ve fallen in the line of duty & those they left behind. As ABNDP Shadow Min. for Public Safety & Emergency Services, I offer them our deepest thanks. #ableg

So many great conversations at the Alberta Municipalities convention this week with local leaders from across the province. Heard a lot concerns about public safety & the need for the provincial gov’t to step up to its responsibilities on shelters, supportive housing & funding for police. #ableg

Throwback to last Thursday when Edmonton Chinese communities hosted a dinner to welcome Naheed Nenshi. A wonderful evening with good conversations, great food & a clear commitment from Naheed that we're here to help support & advance the great work being done to revitalize Chinatown. #ableg#yegdt

For 50 years, @EmployAbilities has been helping people with disabilities & other barriers to employment find work where they can thrive. Stopped by their open house to catch up, talk with some of the people they help every day & say thanks to their staff & volunteers. #ableg

Perfect weather for the Schizophrenia Society of Alberta’s Strides of Hope Walk for World Schizophrenia Day. Thanks to them for all they do to support Albertans affected by schizophrenia & their families to live full, meaningful lives. And thank you to everyone who came out to take part! #ableg
