Connect with your MLA this summer
Make sure that you sign up to stay informed of actions we plan to launch in the near future.
Summer is one of the easiest times to connect with your MLA. You’ll often find them at:
-
Canada Day celebrations
-
Calgary Stampede events
-
Community BBQs and festivals
-
Local town halls and drop-in events
These are informal, accessible opportunities to have a quick conversation about FSCD—and why delays can’t continue.
Take Action
Why it matters
MLAs don’t always hear directly from families about FSCD delays.
When you speak up, you help make those realities visible—and harder to ignore.
What To Say
You don’t need to be formal. Keep it brief and direct:
-
“Families are waiting years for FSCD support.”
-
“Children are missing critical developmental windows.”
-
“We need timely access to support—these years matter most.”
Simple Tips
-
Keep it to 30–60 seconds
-
Speak from your experience
-
Focus on timing—why waiting matters
-
Share only what you’re comfortable with
-
Take a deep breath before and after - it’s hard to talk about something so important, but it can make a difference
Every conversation counts.
These small conversations add up. When MLAs hear the same message from families across Alberta, it creates pressure to act.
