Many know from our Instagram we’ve humbly launched a fundraising campaign to retool our business and adapt to our Covid world. As a new small business startup during Covid, we haven’t had gov financial aid ops, but we’re not giving up! ☕️
Thank You #YEG

I’m in complete agreement. Housing is an issue we should be hearing more about and considering during #Elxn44. #VoteHousing #EndHomelessness
What say you, #elxn44 party leaders?
Pressing the #votehousing point on acute housing needs & the imperative to #EndHomelessness one more time along with so many of my #CDNmuni Mayoral colleagues. #cdnpoli

“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” scoop.me/housing-first-finla…

#COVID19 has underlined the fact that without addressing inequalities, like homelessness, we undermine our resiliency. Which is why a commitment to ending homelessness from the Feds is a great start, but a commitment from ALL orders of government, is crucial to our success.

Although #COVID19 caused an immediate shift in global priorities, corporations are advancing their efforts in #sustainability. Major corporations such as @TetraPak, @GeneralMills, and @Google announced sustainability commitments amid the pandemic. sbshare.co/3tpy2k7

Art Price, former CEO of @HuskyEnergy, on the death of #KeystoneXL:
"Pipelines today make no sense. There's a surplus in the market. Stop trying to focus Alberta's economy on growing oil production. Drop it. The industry has."

Consumers reward brands that tell their #sourcing stories well. Examples from @FSC_IC partners, such as @Patagonia, @Allbirds, and @Amazon, show how consumers increasingly “shop their values” — and how those values increasingly emphasize sourcing. sbshare.co/3aAgo4H

Dear rest of Canada,
I know you're hearing a lot of grumpiness from Alberta about pipelines lately.
Please be assured that oil is not the only game out here. We're world leaders in clean energy tech, renewable energy, and net-zero carbon fuel solutions!
Love,
Alberta
