What is Faces of Community?

Faces of Community is back! Launched in 2017 as a part of March Community Association Awareness month, Faces of Community aims to highlight the many different faces of community volunteers making a difference in our city’s communities.

Every day, our Faces of Community folks spend their time and passion making their communities better. They are volunteers who see the needs of their communities and proactively get involved. They are everyday people doing the extraordinary in their communities and beyond. Calgary has no shortage of volunteers; we are 20,000 strong – and volunteers deserve to be recognized for their hard work.

We are proud to recognize volunteers as Faces of Community

You just need to Be Bold.

how we honour faces of community

Faces of Community work tirelessly to better their communities and help their neighbours. Because of this selflessness, we want to honour the 2023 Faces of Community.

Faces of Community are honoured at an event where they receive a commemorative pin and a certificate.

The Faces of Community Pin and certificate will honour outstanding individuals who have made a remarkable difference in Calgary communities through their unwavering dedication as volunteers.

Wearing this pin with pride will allow others to recognize and identify Faces of Community in a crowd, at events, or on the street.
