The Salvation Army is an international Christian organization that began its work in Canada in 1882 and has grown to become one of the largest non-governmental direct providers of social services in the country. We give hope and support to vulnerable people in 400 communities across Canada.
In 1887 The Salvation Army began its work in Calgary by opening our first church in the city, The Calgary Citadel Corps. Over the years, The Salvation Army in Calgary continued to grow, increasing its social and religious services into three churches, one hospice and one social services unit.
In 2005, our social services were amalgamated into one unit presently known as “Community Services (Calgary)” and our goal is to offer hope through supportive services to strengthen our community.
When you give to The Salvation Army, you are investing in the future of your community.
We are a vibrant community association based inner city close to the university, ctrains and many schools. We offer many community events that bring people from our community as well as neighbouring communities and across the city, especially to our much loved stampede event in July, family friendly engagements and music in the park events in the summer. We are inclusive and diverse in everything we achieve to do.
Nifty Fifties is a registered charity that provides a place where Calgary seniors 50+ can come together to enjoy social events, workshops, art classes, bridge and other activities that match their unique needs and social interests. We recognize that seniors strengthen the community and offer a place to enhance their physical, social and emotional well-being.
Our Philosophy
We know that when individuals whose criminal involvement is driven by drug-addition are provided with the right type and intensity of services, they can change their lives, often in remarkable and transformative ways.
CDTC provides weekly court intervention, addiction treatment, connection to resources, and a range of programming to address drug addiction and change the patterns of thinking that perpetuate criminal and addictive behavior.
CDTC also works closely with community partners to meet the complex needs of our participants and reduce the many social, health, mental health, and economic barriers to sustaining a positive and productive lifestyle.
Our History
Early efforts to establish a Drug Treatment Court (DTC) in Calgary were spurred by a serious and growing problem of drug-driven crime in the downtown core. In 2002, Justice Bill Pepler of the Calgary Provincial Court led a steering committee with the goal of opening a DTC in Calgary. Soon thereafter, Justice James Ogle took on the development of the program and in May 2007 he opened the Court. Justice Ogle remained the mentoring Justice in the Calgary Drug Treatment Court for 12 years.
In 2019, Deputy Chief Justice Joanne Durant became the mentoring Justice in the Calgary Drug Treatment Court. DC Justice Durant is the Judicial lead supporting the establishment of 5 new DTC programs across Alberta.
I Belong Bags Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing essential items and support to at-risk youth experiencing homelessness in our community. Our mission is to offer a sense of belonging and dignity by distributing backpacks filled with essential and comfort items such as pajamas, toothbrushes, books, blankets, and hygiene products. We aim to foster compassion and make a tangible impact on the lives of youth facing displacement and crisis.
Kingsland is a diverse and well connected neighbourhood situated in the South-West quadrant of Calgary and bordered by Glenmore Trail to the North, Macleod Trail to the East, Heritage Drive to the South, and Elbow Drive to the West.
Quick access to main roads and public transit makes Kingsland a highly desirable community for those who regularly commute. We are just close enough to downtown that residents have access to all kinds of amenities, but far enough that we enjoy a little less ‘hustle and bustle’ and a little more tranquility.
Make-A-Wish Canada works with communities across the country to provide children with critical illnesses the opportunity to realize their most heartfelt wish. These wishes are more than just moments of happiness; they are crucial in improving medical outcomes and enhancing the quality of life for both the children and their families.
Many women are looking for self-identity, self-confidence, and wholeness. Our ministry is those women because we believe that every woman is complete in who she is in Christ Jesus no matter what society says. She is a woman who lacks nothing and has nothing missing - simply put "she is an All Woman!"
