At United Way of Calgary and Area, we're investing for future crises, not just responding to the emergencies we face today. It's how our community can be its best. #BeUnited calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…

On #NIPD2023, I celebrate the contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples across Canada. I am humbled by the knowledge and learning we have been given, and the opportunity to grow our relationships, built on trust, respect and reciprocity. calgaryunitedway.org/impact/indigen…


#IndigenousHistory month is coming to a close & there’s still time to get involved in the community! Calgary Public Library is hosting a dreamcatcher making workshop on June 29 - learn more about this practice and make your own! calgarylibrary.ca/events-and-pro…


Happy Stampede, #YYC! Enjoy the Calgary Stampede parade today and make sure you stay safe while you’re taking in all the western community spirit that Calgary has to offer over the next 10 days. Kick up your boots, make some new friends and look out for each other. #Yahoo

A great way to kick off Stampede with these cowgirls! Thanks ENMAX Blakes @janamosley for hosting the Women in Energy Rodeo! A great group of compassionate community leaders! #Yahoo Kourtney Penner Lara Murphy



Indigenous peoples have long been a part of Calgary Stampede’s history, helping shape this #YYC event from the very beginning. I hope you explore Elbow River Camp this year and learn more about the diverse nations in our region! calgarystampede.com/stampede/attra…

We are looking forward to this opportunity to hear from our youth in #yyc. Please help us spread the word for youth to engage in a conversation on anti-Black racism with Wes Hall. Trellis Society YMCA Calgary Centre for Newcomers

Big congratulations to Sue Tomney and the YW Calgary team on the grand opening and ribbon cutting of the re-imagined YW Crisis Shelter and affordable housing units. This will help support women and their children impacted by domestic violence. #communityleadership
