Our expansive network of agency partners enhances our inclusive approach by maximizing our ability to reach diverse households across Calgary.
I Can for Kids (iCAN) witnesses a much higher rate of food insecurity among Indigenous families than we would expect based on the mix of different cultures living in Calgary. In 2023, our agency partners estimated that 33% of all the households who accessed our program identified as First Nations, Metis, or Inuit. In contrast, the most recent census data for Alberta shows that only 3% of all Calgarians identified as Indigenous.
I Can for Kids advocates for evidence-based and effective income policies such as the proposed Groceries and Essentials Benefit.
