Habitat for Humanity 2026

The Rotary Club of Calgary East partnered with Habitat for Humanity for a build day on June 13, 2026. We provided nine volunteers to help with the construction of new affordable homes in Dawson's Landing. In addition to our volunteers we contributed $5,000 towards the construction materials. Working families who could not otherwise own a home, pay no down payments and monthly payments ary typically capped at 30% of the household income. This was our third build day and we are looking at opportunities to volunteer at the ReStore.

Okotoks Powwow & Siksika Nations Fair

Members of the Rotary Club of Calgary East and their families attended the Okotoks Powwow on May 30. For many, it was their first opportunity to experience a Powwow, making it a memorable and meaningful event. The day was both enjoyable and enriching, reflecting our commitment to learning about Indigenous cultures and supporting the ongoing journey of Truth and Reconciliation.

Representatives of the Rotary Club had the honour of participating in the Grand Entry at the Siksika Nation Fair on June 27. As an event sponsor, our club was proud to support the celebration as part of our ongoing commitment
to learning and advancing Truth and Reconciliation. It was a meaningful experience to celebrate alongside the Siksika Nation, recognizing their vibrant culture and strong sense of community.
