A follow-up to the “Three Cities” Lunch and Learn, this workshop will look further into how income inequality is distributed in Calgary, as well as its implications.

As part of the Neighbourhood Change Research Partnership (NCRP), researchers will present three different projects related to income inequality:

• Kylee van der Poorten, a graduate student at the University of Calgary, will present “The Geography of Secondary Suite Politics in Calgary”.
• Joel Laforest, also a University of Calgary graduate student, will present “Richer and Poorer: How Calgarians Experience the Widening Income Gap”.
• Aimee Benoit, a doctoral candidate at the University of Lethbridge, will present on community participation and social inclusion.
