CivicCamp: Improve Calgary in 2 Easy Steps

CivicCamp is a place where ideas are heard, tools are offered and changes are made.

1. Stay in the loop: CivicCamp is about civic engagement. But before you act you need to know how to be effective, who else might be working on the same thing and what relevant events are unfolding. If you’ve read our Charter and like what we’re about, then Subscribe to our Mailing List to receive emails about our action groups, activities and events.

2. Participate: At CivicCamp,  there’s something for everybody. We act where citizens see room for improvement. We post volunteer opportunities and event notices to our email list. Members can post events, calls to action and information on our Facebook Page or via our online discussion group.
