We are proud to recognize Hugh D. Williamson as he concludes his term on our Board of Directors.

Since joining the Board in 2019, Hugh has been a passionate advocate for nurturing a healthy and vibrant community. His thoughtful leadership has helped strengthen our grantmaking, guide our work, and advance meaningful impact across Calgary and area.

He continues to support the Foundation through his work on the Governance Committee and Major Grants Committee.

While Hugh's Board service is coming to a close, we are grateful that his commitment to Calgary Foundation continues. Thank you, Hugh, for your many years of dedicated service and for the lasting difference you've made in our community.

From community gardens to local celebrations, belonging is built through shared experiences.

Onward Homes, a nonprofit that provides affordable housing to low-income Calgarians, partnered with Roots of Arnica and residents at Bishop's Manor on a community gardening project supported by Neighbour Grants. Through hands-on activities and shared learning, residents created a space that supports both food harvesting and community connection.

Does your team have an idea to help neighbours connect? Neighbour Grants offers up to $10,000 for belonging-building projects led by local organizations. Apply today: https://bit.ly/4217WXq
