LET’S BUILD SOCIAL CAPITAL TOGETHER
Upcoming events.
Our events bring people together to learn, share, and build community — from thought-provoking dialogues to hands-on workshops, all led by local presenters. Members attend free, while non-members are welcome with a suggested $10 donation. The exception? Events at public libraries, which are always free — because we love libraries, and we love the people who use them.
Interested in presenting? We’d love to hear from you!
Email us at calgarysocialcapitalsociety@gmail.com with your topic and a short outline, and we’ll help with organizing and promotion. Whether it’s a skill share, a creative session, or a unique idea of your own, our stage is open and we can’t wait to see what you bring.
Cultural Transformation Walk
To raise awareness that we are one human family worldwide.
Join us for a leisurely community walk celebrating Calgary's cultural and religious diversity. People of all backgrounds, faiths, cultures, and traditions are welcome—whether you wear a turban, kippah, hijab, topi, or simply come as you are. We also welcome those who do not identify with any particular faith or tradition.
Together, we will walk in solidarity, friendship, and mutual respect, sharing a powerful message about the kind of Calgary we want to build: a city rooted in inclusion, compassion, and our shared humanity. As human beings, we stand—and walk—with humanity.
Participants are invited to come as themselves, not as representatives of nations, causes, or political movements. Personal expressions of identity are welcome; however, please do not bring flags or political symbols, so that the focus remains on our shared humanity and the values that unite us.
Lantern Peace Festival
The 2026 Floating Lantern Festival includes introduction of the winners of the Calgary International Contest for Young Artists; a performance by Indigenous singer songwriter Dorothy Walker; messages from the Mayor of Hiroshima (read by Nimrat Dhillon, 10 years old) and from the Mayor of Nagasaki (read by Hanna Chan, 11 years old); and a talk and performance by the Calgary Vietnamese Women’s Association.
Our book with close to twenty Calgary co-authors, Our City as a Moveable Feast for Our Time: Intentional Cultural Transformation in Calgary, Alberta, Canada will be newly published, and you can get a copy while you are at the event. James Mathiang will be there with copies of his book, Education on the Road: My Journey from Child Soldier to Global Citizen, also available for you to get a copy. James will also have a dialogue event, with Chetna Hans facilitating.
This event is a chance for all of us who participate to remind ourselves what humans did to fellow human beings in August 1945 in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and to renew our dedication to a world free of nuclear weapons and a healthy global community.
Annual Picnic
Join us for the our annual community picnic on Sunday, July 5, 2026, from 3:00 pm at North Glenmore Park’s Song Sparrow Site.
At CSCS, we believe that strong communities are built through meaningful relationships. Our annual picnic is an opportunity to connect with fellow members, welcome new faces, strengthen friendships, and enjoy a relaxing afternoon together in one of Calgary’s beautiful park settings.
Bring your family, friends, and a favourite dish or snack to share. Enjoy great food, engaging conversations, outdoor activities, and the chance to build the connections that make our community stronger.
REGISTER FOR FREE
Everyone is welcome. We look forward to celebrating another year of friendship, belonging, and community with you.
