What We Do
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.
 
The short-term exchange program (STEP) is a reciprocal family-to-family exchange for students between the ages of 15-19 at the time of the exchange. It offers students the opportunity to gain international understanding while becoming familiar with another culture. The exchange takes place over the summer months.

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.
