Bringing together intergenerational Indigenous Peoples, youth, academia, government, business, and community leaders to turn global goals into local action and tackle Canada’s toughest sustainability challenges.
Collaborations for Change
Hosted by The University of Calgary and the Best Practices Network, the Collaborations for Change conference brings together post-secondary students, service professionals, mental health providers, and researchers to engage in meaningful conversations about how best to integrate research and practice into post-secondary mental health.
Mobilizing Alberta
Given the global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 and to ground climate solutions in equity and justice, there is a momentous opportunity to build a healthy, just and climate-safe future.
Mobilizing Alberta was a five-year initiative at UCalgary that formally concluded in May 2026. It was led by the Office of Institutional Commitments and supported by a $1.6 million grant from the Government of Canada through the Environmental Damages Fund.
