The strength of the Enough for All strategy was highlighted for us again last year as it has continued to be a credible and reliable north star of the system changes that are still needed to make poverty history in Calgary.

The City of Calgary is a proud partner in the implementation of the Enough For All strategy, working together with community on the 10 levers of change to reduce poverty in Calgary is key as we continue to recover as a community and build a resilient Calgary into the future.

What the Enough for All strategy proposes is that Calgarians come together. Not to have the same conversations we’ve already had or affirm the status quo. We aren’t just here for incremental change. We are challenging the charitable model, pushing to prevent poverty as well as reduce it, in order to transform the lives of Calgarians and apply generational thinking.

Meaghon Reid Executive Director, VCC

Momentum was pleased to partner with Vibrant Communities Calgary to advance Enough for All. Last year, Enough for All partners continued to provide opportunities for Calgarians living on low-incomes to reduce their debt and build savings through the Aspire financial empowerment collaborative despite the challenges of the pandemic. For example, over 4,835 participants filed their taxes in 2021 through 652 tax clinics offered by 16 agencies and received a collective total of $3,481,176 in refunds.
