Thank you so much to our incredible friends at CPC Elevate!

These wonderful women continue to stick by GEMS through thick and thin.

Thank you so much ladies!

8 years ago this incredible woman was taken from her loving family at the hands of someone who could not handle her not being his.

We met the El- Dib family about a month after and the bond was formed quickly.

The Gems board of directors decided to name our first scholarship in memory of Nadia El-Dib.

It was gifted to Danielle McMahon who has proudly spoken of the origins of her opportunity at a new life and the honour of being connected to Nadia and her family for life.

Danielle attended The Esthetic Institute Training Center , grew her business BARE by Pink Peach and has now hired her second employee!

Over the years Racha El-Dib joined our ambassador team, co hosted events with Gems, her father Sami Eldib also became a Gems Ambassador and we have loved and supported each-other.

Nadia will forever be missed.

Nadia will forever be remembered.

Nadia will always be honored by Gems, Danielle and all those who support the scholarship program and are touched by it.

To the El-Dibs. We love you. We mourn with you.

Happy International Women’s Day from all of us at GEMS!

Celebrating all that is woman may seem complex these days….
But we see the strength, compassion, wisdom, instincts and courage within us all and encourage ALL women to remember who you are.

Everything you want to achieve… Anything you want to build …. Whatever life you want is there for you.

Live big, or live small….
But live in alignment with your purpose and what lights your heart up.

Everything you need is within you.

Happy International Women’s Day!

Shout out to our long term partners Good Companions 50 Plus Club led by the wonderful Shauna Trainer!

Every year these seniors collect jewelry for our Jewelry Drive, knit blankets and make little dolls for Hope’s Cradle and host our Founder Jordan Guildford at their Christmas luncheon as their keynote speaker.

Incredible people. This is what community is all about.

Domestic violence impacts people, and it impacts systems.

A University of Calgary study estimates domestic violence costs Calgary nearly $60 million each year. That includes health care, justice, and community supports.

Prevention and early intervention matter, and they cost less than responding after harm is done.
