Four members of Basic Income Calgary share their insights

How do you move the basic income conversation forward?

Basic Income Calgary is an action group of the Basic Income Canada Network and an Enough for All stakeholder. Basic Income Calgary’s goals align with Enough for All, Calgary’s poverty reduction strategy, and the growing national movement for a basic income guarantee. We believe in and support the creation of a basic income guarantee program that would create a regular, predictable income, universally and unconditionally available to all who need it, and sufficient to provide for a decent life style and enable full participation in the community.

On September 6, 2017 - Vibrant Communities Calgary and Basic Income Calgary  hosted a Community Conversation about basic income through the lens of food insecurity.

Keynote speaker Dr. Lynn McIntyre discusses a series of policy studies that support a basic income guarantee as a promising solution to food insecurity in Canada. The keynote address was followed by a panel discussion with Dr. McIntyre, James McAra, CEO of the Calgary Food Bank and co-chair of the Enough for All Food Dignity Constellation, Mary Salvani, a member of Disability Action Hall and a long-time community advocate, as well as Carole Carpot- Lacassagne from the Women’s Centre.
