- FACILITY Calgary - now in it's 26th year - every Tuesday morning - getting better, growing our audience, offering 'things you want to know' to people who want to know it
Your donation to iGIFTsight.ca helps poor kids see (YES, Canadian kids) - I've taken on a role with this very worthy work - a Calgary based charity with a national plan. I'm not asking anyone to switch the charities you support - and I'm asking you to add this one. Your money goes a long way. For instance, a $75.00 donation puts glasses on the faces of five kids who can't see the board. How can we do that? Parntnerships, relationships, suppliers and creativity, volunteers and trust.
Mark Kolke, VP Fund Development, i GIFT sight
A message from FACILITYCalgary publisher Mark Kolke.
We are pleased to celebrate our relationship with iGIFTsight - a Calgary-based Canadian charity with a Canada-wide mission; if you've not heard about iGIFTsight, we urge you to invest a few moments of your time - click on a link to the site. You'll learn there is an unmet need for vision service in our communities. Getting eye exams, treatment, glasses and other corrective actions is something most of us take for granted as something we have funds or a benefit program, or that services are available where we live. This is made worse when families are already stretched so very far. If you can help, please consider helping in any that you can.
+ City of Calgary – Green line tragic/comedy/stupdity … announcements of ‘on-again’, further south , as City of Calgary and GoA play politics, and ‘other rail’ projects seem to be at play in the background with UCP support, so maybe we’ll get what the Premier wants and Calgarians will pay the costs which appear to be high whether they stop, start, restart, change direction. The downtown portion of the Green line will be underground/surface/elevated but it’s not tunnel vision – it just looks that way.
