Attend a Neighbour Day Event this Weekend

On the one-year anniversary of the devastating flood that hit Calgary, the City of Calgary launched Neighbour Day, to celebrate the community spirit that saw Calgarians come together in 2013. The first Neighbour Day saw nearly 40 communities participating in events, clean-ups, BBQs and more, and now the fun is back for 2015!

Neighbour Day is an opportunity for Calgarians to honour the same incredible resilience and community spirit that pulled our city together during the 2013 flood. Vibrant and strong communities, with good neighbours, are what make Calgary great. — City of Calgary
