#UnisonCalgary Together, we raised $32,845 for our Spring Campaign this year! One of the most incredible things we realized: a huge majority of the gifts we received — 70 per cent! — were from women themselves, with 55 per cent over the age of 64 We’re so pleased to see the amazing women of our Unison community dig deep to give gifts to support seniors. Every donation helps programs like our Elder Abuse Shelter, where we help folks weather the storm or Food Security to keep cupboards full: we’re so thankful for all the incredible women who made gifts!

Facing rising costs, the Centre remains committed to accessibility, offering activities at no cost. Larry Mathieson, CEO, stressed inclusivity, stating, "There’s something for everyone."
