#CalgaryForAll: Celebrating Calgarians

On Canada Day 2020, CLIP launched the #CalgaryForAll campaign to celebrate the diversity of the many people who make up Calgary. People from all over the world have made Calgary their home bringing their skills, their talents, their energy and their passions to the city #ImmigrationMatters.

Looking for ideas on exactly how you can safely meet up with your neighbours? If you have a great idea but need some funding to make it happen, check out the Funding Opportunities page.

If you are a newcomer to Calgary and are looking for information and resources, please contact one of the many settlement agencies in the city. You can find additional information about the types of services and programs available to all residents of the city in the CLIP Newcomer Services Guide.
