At Sustainable Calgary, weโre on a mission to create healthy, just and and thriving neighbourhoods. The great news? Healthy cities are a win-win! They're beautiful. They make us happier. They drive prosperity.
Hereโs our approach: we collaborate with fellow Calgarians, envisioning neighbourhoods that are healthier, more convenient - and a whole lot of fun! We identify community priorities, dive into research, team up with incredible designers, prototype real life changes, and collect metrics of success. Then we amplify our impact by sharing key insights with decision-makers.
