Did you know The Alex Youth Health Clinic supports more than physical health?

Young people can access medical care, mental health support, sexual health services, justice navigation, and connections to other programs, all in one welcoming space. Because support looks different for everyone, and no one should have to navigate it alone.

Today is National Nonprofit Day, a time to recognize the organizations, staff, volunteers, donors, and community partners who work every day to build stronger, healthier communities.

At The Alex, we believe everyone deserves access to healthcare, housing, food, and the support they need to thrive. Every day, our teams walk alongside individuals and families, providing compassionate, integrated care that meets people where they are and helps create pathways to brighter futures.

This work is only possible because of the dedication of our staff and volunteers, the generosity of our donors and partners, and the resilience of the people and communities we are privileged to serve.

Thank you, Calgary, for helping us build a healthier, more connected community — together. 💙

Last month, our Mobile Health Oral Health Team joined Dr. Sarah Hulland, the team at ABC Pediatrics, and dedicated volunteers for Brushing for Brightness – an annual event that helps brighten thousands of smiles across Calgary.

Together, we packed approximately 5,000 oral hygiene kits, which will be distributed to students through The Alex Dental Health Bus school program. These kits help ensure children have the tools they need to build healthy oral hygiene habits, because every child deserves the opportunity to smile with confidence.

We're grateful to everyone who gave their time and energy to make this event possible. By working together, we're helping remove barriers to oral health and bringing essential care directly to the communities we serve. 💙🪥✨

🌟 International Youth Day 🌟

Today, we celebrate the creativity, resilience, and potential of young people in our communities.

At The Alex, we know that when youth have access to support, connection, and opportunities to thrive, they can build brighter futures for themselves and those around them. Whether it's through healthcare, housing support, food programs, mental health services, or community connections, we're committed to helping young people feel seen, heard, and supported.

This International Youth Day, let's recognize the strengths, talents, and voices of youth—and continue working together to create communities where every young person has the opportunity to flourish.

Sometimes the best conversations happen around a table.

Sharing a meal can create space for new friendships, new skills, and new opportunities to connect with others.

At the Community Food Centre, food brings people together in ways that nourish both body and community.

Today we celebrate the cultures, languages, knowledge, and leadership of Indigenous Peoples around the world.

For thousands of years, Indigenous communities have cared for the land, strengthened families, advanced knowledge, and shared teachings that continue to benefit us all. From cultural burning practices in Australia to environmental stewardship in the Amazon and Inuit knowledge informing climate research, Indigenous knowledge continues to shape a more sustainable future.

At The Alex, we recognize the invaluable contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples. We are committed to creating culturally safe and welcoming spaces where Indigenous voices are respected, partnerships are valued, and reconciliation is reflected in the care we provide every day.

This day reminds us that Indigenous cultures are living, thriving, and leading the way forward. By listening, learning, and working together, we can build healthier, more inclusive communities for future generations.

When 15-year-old Kailey came to The Alex, she had only recently learned she was pregnant. Feeling scared and uncertain about what lay ahead, she and her family were suddenly faced with navigating a new reality.

Through compassionate prenatal care, parenting education, social support, and connections to community resources, Kailey found more than medical care—she found a team that believed in her.

With the support of her family and The Alex's Pre/Post Natal team, Kailey enrolled at the Louise Dean Centre, attended parenting classes, stayed engaged in her care, and prepared for motherhood with confidence and determination.

Stories like Kailey's remind us that health is about more than appointments. It's about empowering people with the knowledge, support, and confidence they need to build healthy futures.

This is just one of many stories featured in our 2026 Annual Report.
