Introducing Heritage Inspires YYC
Calgary’s evolution to a more compact and sustainable city can be inspired by heritage, for future generations to enjoy. Be bold! Imagine repurposing more of our heritage buildings as interesting spaces for local businesses, start-ups, and diverse housing. Heritage belongs to everyone!
This volunteer-led communications campaign asks Calgarians to recognize and protect built heritage, historic streetscapes, and public spaces that define a unique sense of place.

Strategic Check-In Summary
Thank you to the 270 respondents to our three-question survey. The results were presented to the board on Monday, February 22 as part of a strategic discussion on how The Federation needs to tweak or change our service lines. We heard your top three pressing needs were membership engagement, financial uncertainty, and unskilled volunteers. We learned you most value our education, information, and support, along with our micro funding opportunities. 158 respondents told us of their great projects that they wished we could help with – including more training, more connecting of member organizations to share insights, success and struggles and support navigating external processes. We are “chewing” on this information as part of a renewal of our strategic plan. Stay tuned!
