E-mail forward to promote GreatCity Project

Subject Line: Exciting Partnership with CTV and United Way

Dear Friend,

Tonight at 6:00 pm, an exciting new initiative will be announced on CTV News. United Way of Calgary and Area and CTV News Anchor Barb Higgins have teamed up to bring you the GreatCity Project - an interactive online experience that will allow you to gain a new perspective on the city around you.

We invite you to join Barb as she gives you a window into the social issues affecting our community. Learning about these issues is as simple as visiting the GreatCity Blog - where Barb will share her experiences through text, audio and video updates. While you are there, be sure to subscribe so that you will always be informed of updates.

Get involved. Once you have visited the Blog, why not log in to the GreatCity Forum? Cast your vote in the poll and then take the opportunity to share your thoughts and hear what others are saying. The first step to bringing about change is by promoting awareness, so if you have something to say in the GreatCity Forum, we want to hear it!

Get your colleagues involved. We have some banners , images and additional information that you can download for your company’s internal communications to let employees know about this project at www.greatcity.ca/promo.
Visit www.greatcity.ca today and learn about the issues affecting people in our city right now. Together, we can make Calgary a truly GreatCity for everyone.

All the best,
Ruth Ramsden-Wood
President, United Way of Calgary and Area
