What We Do
A large group from the Calgary West Rotary Club set out to to cleanup our designated 3 kilometer section of the north side highway #1. The group met at 9:00 AM on Saturday May24, 2025 in the parking lot of Calaway Park and received instructions from David Impey. David provided the volunteers with bright orange garbage bags and led smaller groups to assigned sections of the highway for cleanup. The cleanup completed at approximately 11:00 AM and some of the group got together for a bite and some fellowship at the Cav-Ok Grill  located at Springbank Airport.

13 Calgary West members and some family members spent Nov 1st on a H4H  build day in Livingston which is on the north part of the city.  By all accounts everyone came away with a deep appreciation for what Habitat does in assisting families be able to afford their own home.  It is truly amazing what they do and the organization of the construction that day was outstanding.
 
 
Rotarians gather in each others homes to build lasting friendships and enjoy a hot meal with great conversation.  This is just one of many social activities that members and friends enjoy about being in Rotary.

On Saturday November 19th members of several Rotary Clubs and the District Indigenous Relations Committee were given an introduction to the Siksika Nation’s history at the Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park, the site of the signing of Treaty No.7 in 1877. A guided tour of the museum provided the start of a journey of learning about the historic events and the cultural value of the site for the Siksika Nation enhanced by the rich variety of the archaeological resources that reflect the long history of Blackfoot Crossing.
