CommunityWise Resource Centre

On September 6, CommunityWise took to the streets for the Calgary Pride Parade — banner up, flags out, and not the least bit bothered by the rain! We walked alongside Tampon Tuesday YYC, ACCT Foundation, the Asian Canadians for a United Canada (ACUC) Coalition, Canada Bridges, and hundreds of others, wagon full of flags and umbrellas at the ready.

CommunityWise exists to hold space for the organizations doing anti-racist, community-led work in Calgary, and a lot of that work is queer and trans work. Showing up in public, together, with our names on a banner, is a big part of this!

Thank you to everyone who painted, walked, handed out flags, held a corner of the banner, or cheered from a wet sidewalk. See you next year! 🌈

We’re pulling threads of civic and community organizing in partnership with Communitywise Resource Centre, a place where Calgarians have come together for decades to organize! This gathering will focus on identifying advocacy efforts to create the change our communities need. Between an October Referendum to Municipal budgets to increasing austerity how we get organized is increasingly important.

Will you join us, on September 15th?

Come prepared to gather over food, share what matters to you and identify how to build a campaign, learn from community experts and deepen a community of care practice.

Civic Threads is for anyone who needs a place to talk about the structural and political landscape we find ourselves in, find solidarity and looking to find allies to challenge the status quo.

The United Filipino Entrepreneurs Association invites all Calgarians to two days of hiring, connection, and community.

Whether you’re looking for your first job, changing careers, or exploring what’s next, come meet employers who are hiring right now — no appointment needed, everyone welcome.
