The Alberta government will be building a new navigation and support centre in Calgary, which is designed to alleviate pressures felt by front-line workers and emergency services. 

The navigation and support centre will offer services such as income support, shelter and housing options, Indigenous resources, and help obtaining a valid Alberta ID.

“We will bring together our nonprofit partners, the Ministry of Social Services, as well as our sister ministries like mental health and addictions, and make sure we can get all of those supports … people so can access those supports, and then they can go on to lead successful and happy lives,” Social Services Minister Jason Nixon told reporters on Wednesday.

Social disorder is defined in the report as conversations from transit peace officers or Calgary Police Service officers related to littering, loitering, fare evasion and urinating or defecating in transit stations. However, they are not usually criminal in nature. “Navigating the system is not easy. And then I want you to imagine that you don’t have a home, or that you are struggling with mental illness. How are you going to accomplish this on your own?”Click to share quote on Twitter: "Navigating the system is not easy. And then I want you to imagine that you don't have a home, or that you are struggling with mental illness.

“This is a performative measure from Danielle Smith and the UCP that will keep Albertans trapped in the shelter system, rather than connecting them to the permanent housing they need,” Irwin said in a statement.
