Please support the DI’s proposal to operate “Centre 4800” at 4804 Edmonton Trail NE, as a permanent supported housing facility for low-income Calgarians.


All new tenants would be carefully screened using the highest standards, they will be housing ready, will have confirmed income, and will assist our city in housing homeless, working poor or assisted living people - inarguably one of our city’s most concerning problems today.

Further, please understand the program model is carefully and purposely built around a “community first" philosophy, which includes regular community cleanups, activities and volunteerism.

Calgary needs this facility, and it is important you support The DI in their proposal to build a successful operation there, to rebuild 120 deserving lives.

Everyone is someone. And each deserves joy, love, and a sense of belonging.

The DI has committed to video monitoring the facility with over 48 security cameras, full time security personnel (all tenants and visitors must sign in), and qualified program staff present 24/7.

*Please be aware that upon signing this petition, the third party host will request a donation in support of their website. This is in no way endorsed by, nor related to The DI - and we will not in any way be benefited by the funds collected. Your e-signature will still be recorded if you do not make a donation. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your support of The DI and of Centre 4800.*

The opposition is spreading myths about Centre 4800 so send this link to three neighbors to show them our actual safety plan. Call your city councilor today to demand they approve this site for our community. We are building the real picture of support for these 120 residents.

This wave of momentum shows city officials that we are serious about bringing Centre 4800 to our neighborhood. Call your city councillor right now to tell them you support this facility. Post this link on your Facebook page to bring three more neighbors into this effort.

Have you ever had to start over? I have and so do many others. People need a safe place where they can do that. This can be that place!

I support this application as the only way to eliminate homelessness is to make housing more affordable. This project will do so for 120 residents.

I believe that Centre 4800, will not only be a benifit to the Homeless, Working Poor, etc, It will greatly benifit the Community as well. The DI residents will look after building, and the area surronding. Come on people realize this will be Their Home Community, as well as yours..

How can it not be a good thing? There is a screening for the residents, 24/7 security, and trained staff in place. Let's put back the "human" back in "humanity"! I am a full supporter of Centre 4800!

As a proud worker within the DI family, I get a first hand experience of seeing how beneficial all of the DI services are to all members of the community.

This project is vital, we are priviledged to do it, and as evolved, civilized people, we are obligated to open the doors to the 120 people who need a hand up. The DI has a history of doing the right thing, and doing it extraordinarily well.
