The Tri-Municipal Social Development Strategy is a creative and collaborative effort between three municipalities of varying sizes, services, and needs, developed during a time of unprecedented social change in the region. The people-first plan was based on extensive primary and secondary research and focused on five social dimensions, including diversity & inclusion, healthy relationships, poverty reduction, housing, and Indigenous Truth & Reconciliation. With a total of 43 actions falling under four categories, the strategy was developed collaboratively with social development experts within each municipality. The creation of a Steering Committee and the added capacity of a Social Development Coordinator are foundational steps to drive collaborative social development efforts across the three municipalities in the Region.
In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that we are on the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region, which includes the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).
