  We believe connecting with one another makes us stronger, which is why we are hosting Women Should Know Eachother this Tuesday, October 2.

  This #genderequalityweek, we’d like to (re)introduce ourselves. For over 21 yrs we’ve worked to be every woman’s place for community, connections + support in #yyc. We know women face unique barriers + we work hard to break those barriers down.

  We operate from a feminist approach and a capabilities approach. This means we recognize women face barriers due to gender inequality, and we recognize that every woman has strengths that she can contribute to the community.

  We are a place where ANY woman can get assistance, connect with others, and work for positive change. Learn more about our work on our website, or ask us almost anything on here! http://www.womenscentrecalgary.org/

  Did you know Calgary is ranked by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives as the fourth worst city to be a woman in Canada? We've got work to do, which is why the City of Calgary – Your Local Government organized the first ever #genderequalityweek in #yyc! We had a great time at the Gender Equality Week panel and resource fair this afternoon - we're already looking forward to next year's event!

  Our October Social Issues Discussion is on Grieving and Homelessness. At this event, guest facilitators Jessica Shaw and Diane Gauthier will lead a conversation on this topic, which impacts many but is not frequently discussed.

  We're interested in what this article has to say about who is experiencing the greatest impacts of climate change. Climate change is more than only an environmental issue.

  Are you looking for a way to recycle your plastic grocery and shopping bags? Donate them to the Women's Centre!

  Each week we connect women with emergency food hampers. These food hampers and other items are distributed in plastic and reusable bags. But we are running low of these bags, and we need your help! We are currently accepting donations of plastic AND reusable bags to be used for our programs. Consider donating your bags, and make a difference in your community!

  Grieving the loss or change of a cherished natural space has not always been recognized as a true form of grieving. But with continued changes to our natural environment, ecological grief is now starting to become more recognized and understood.

  Join us for a discussion and workshop on ecological grief, facilitated by environmental scientist Amy Spark. This two-hour workshop will include a special address from Shannon Phillips, Minister of Environment and Parks for the Province of Alberta, and will be a space for anyone who identifies as a woman to discuss and learn about this less frequently discussed topic.

  Always a nice place to go and relax, get out of the cold and have some good coffee and conversation. My only complaint is that the centre is closed on the weekends. I would love to see it open weekends.
