A black and yellow sign that reads: “Dear Parents: We will be playing unedited hip hop all day. Due to the nature of the music, there may be language which may offend you or your kids. Unless, of course, you take parenting advice from Ol’ Dirty Bastard, in which case — Wu-Tang is for the children.” A Wu-Tang logo appears at the bottom

A child stands indoors on a wood floor, wrapped in a dark blue plaid fabric tied in a large knot at the front, holding up a peace sign. The background shows a beige couch, laundry basket, and a bright window with white shutters.
A blue bicycle with a stuffed animal, a white mountain goat wearing a green plaid hoodie, attached to the handlebars. A child wearing a white sweatshirt with flower patches, dark sweatpants, pink gloves, and a helmet stands next to the bike. Behind them is a concrete barrier and a forest of trees with yellow autumn leaves.
Two children wearing helmets ride their bikes side by side on a quiet paved road surrounded by tall trees with autumn foliage under a cloudy sky.
A large lifted pickup truck is parked on a residential street. Two young children wearing helmets stand directly in front of the truck, but their small size makes it clear how easily they could be hidden from the driver’s view.
Two young children look out at a park from their seats in an urban arrow.

Two children, wearing helmets and matching purple shirts, ride their bikes in a designated bike lane. The photo is taken from behind, from the perspective of a parent riding a cargo bike (Urban Arrow) with items visible in the front box. Parked cars line the street, a pedestrian crossing sign is on the right, and the hazy sky shows an orange sun through smoke.

Screen capture of the email response from the MLA. Text reads- RE: Response to your letter on bike lane infrastructure Re: Bike Lanes (AR103667) Dear Lisa, Thank you for keeping us updated on the minister’s (less-than-satisfactory) response, and thank you for the time and effort it must have taken to attempt to educate him. I particularly appreciate your footnoted references. It would be fantastic if the minister himself put the same diligence into reading up on his portfolio. Advocacy from informed Albertans such as yourself is so important to holding this government accountable. Thank you for working towards a better Alberta for all of us. Sincerely, image001.png Marcie Wallace Constituency Assistant Calgary-Mountain View MLA Kathleen Ganley #102 – 723 14 St NW Calgary, AB T2N 2A4
Thank you for sharing your thoughts regarding bicycle lanes in the City of Calgary. As Minister of Transportation and Economic Corridors, I am able to provide the following information. The Government of Alberta and Transportation and Economic Corridors are supportive of active transportation options, including bicycle lanes, when they are well-planned and appropriately integrated into the broader road network. Bicycle infrastructure can play an important role in promoting community connectivity, health, and mobility; however, Alberta’s roads must continue to support the evolving transportation needs of a growing population. The Government of Alberta is concerned with lane-removal initiatives which may reduce roadway capacity and impact the safe and efficient movement of vehicles, particularly along key urban roadways that connect to the provincial road network. The department will continue to work with municipalities to ensure Alberta’s roads meet evolving transportation needs and support the movement of people and goods throughout the province. Thank you for writing and for your interest in Alberta’s transportation network. Sincerely, Honourable Devin Dreeshen, ECA Minister of Transportation and Economic Corridors Classification: Protected A
Two young children are riding bikes on a residential street, both wearing helmets, swimsuits, and shorts. One child, on a blue bike with a pink basket, is wearing a colorful one-piece swimsuit with light blue shorts and is reaching toward their helmet. The other child, on a white bike decorated with stickers, is wearing a pink and black polka dot long-sleeve swim top with purple shorts. A shared pedestrian and bicycle path sign is visible in the background near a sidewalk and grassy area.
Two young children sit on a couch, observing a hand-drawn diagram of a 4-way stop intersection placed on a piece of paper. The diagram includes labeled roads, stop signs, and four surrounding houses. Paper cutouts representing cars are positioned at the intersection, illustrating traffic movement and right-of-way rules.
Two young children sit cross-legged on the floor, each with a half watermelon in a bowl in front of them, scooping out the fruit with spoons. Beside the watermelon are small blue plates with mini pizzas. They’re sitting on a soft blue mat.

A picture of two charts. Top one has Rachel written by a 6 yr old and a bike drawn on it, the second has Astrid written by 6 yr old and a bike drawn on it with a heart around the bike. Both have squares coloured in representing the 187km the children have biked in the last 7 week.
