A thought leader conversation on the future of our community

Join us for a timely and thought-provoking conversation with United Way of Calgary and Area President and CEO Karen Young and Calgary Chief of Police Katie McLellan on what it will take for Calgary to thrive in the years ahead.

Calgary is growing, changing and facing complex social pressures that no one organization or sector can solve alone. At the same time, our city has extraordinary strengths: committed community leaders, generous donors, engaged workplaces and a shared belief that Calgary can be a place where everyone has the opportunity to belong, contribute and thrive.

Through a fireside chat-style conversation, Karen and Katie will explore the future of our city, the social conditions that support safety and resilience, and the partnerships needed to respond to community challenges with purpose. Guests will hear timely perspectives on growth, prevention, community safety and the role we can each play in building a stronger Calgary.

This special gathering will also offer an opportunity to connect with fellow donors, volunteers and community leaders who care deeply about Calgary’s future. We hope you can join us for an afternoon of insight, conversation and connection.

Space is limited. Please register by October 26 to confirm your attendance.

In the spirit of our journey to promote reconciliation, we would like to honour the truth of our shared history and acknowledge Treaty 7 territory and the traditional lands of the Blackfoot Confederacy, that includes the Kainai, Siksika, and Piikani First Nations. We acknowledge the traditional lands of the Tsuut'ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda, including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations. We would also like to recognize the Métis people, and the Inuit people who have made their home here in Moh'kins'tsis, also known as Calgary.
