The Federation of Calgary Communities is the largest volunteer movement in the city, working to support board members and volunteers who help improve neighbourhood life. We provide programs and services that help communities build their capacity to support and mobilize residents, identify and provide services, and be on the front lines of critical issues affecting them. Our work empowers people to guide their organizations with confidence and clarity to develop a sense of belonging and a voice for community life.

I interviewed my dad on video in his final weeks. When I asked about his work and finding meaning through helping others, he responded, “I don’t think you can be focused on, ‘Oh gee, I want to make a difference.’ It has to be spontaneous. If it’s not…there’s some kind of egotistical thing going on. That’s a red flag. You hope you impact people on the deepest level you are capable of at the time. Sometimes you hit it, sometimes you don’t. You’re trying.
