The provincial government's decision to withholding funding for Calgay’s Green Line LRT and instead do an independent review of the alignment forced Calgary City Council to wind down of the project (since they couldn't afford it without the provincial funds). This wind down will cost taxpayers $2.1 billion and harm the city's reputation for other projects with contracts and building companies .  Join us in calling on the provincial government to put people before politics and be financialy responsible with our money. 

This decision threatens thousands of needed jobs. It will result in increased traffic and pollution for Calgarians. It will force thousands of Calgarians to spend countless hours trying to get to work when they need a quality transit system. 

Calgary is growing by 96,000 people per year, a testament to our city's vibrancy and potential. We need a quality transit system to accommodate this growth, ensuring that everyone can get to work, go to the doctor, participate in our city’s cultural life, attend worship and visit family and friends.

We are asking you to write Premier Smith, Minister Dreeshen (Minister of Transportation and Economic Corridors) and your MLA to tell them that it is important to have the Green Line funded, built in a way that serves Calgarians in north and south Calgary, and doesn't burn the money already invested. 

Help revive the Green Line! Send a letter! You can use the sample letter and letter-writing tool below.

Minister Devin Dreeshen (Minister of Transportation and Economic Corridors) and Premier Danielle Smith will automatically be CC'd on your email to your MLA. Your email will be signed off automatically with "Sincerely, [Your name]" based on the name you input into the form below.
