Special Note: CDLI is partnering with Carya to offer free child minding during the event. Child minding is a unique offering that invites you to bring your children with you to the event if childcare is a barrier to your being able to attend. Children must be pre-registered via email so knowledgeable child minding staff are available.
CDLI is a community space and is always open to doing what we can to make the space as welcoming and accessible to you as possible. Infants are welcome at the Big Meet Up and if we know they will be in attendance we will ensure space is included for them and their caregiver. Please email cdli@caryacalgary.ca before November 9th to indicate if you will be attending with an infant or child so we can ensure they are welcomed with you. If registering after November 9th please still reach out we just may not be able to add staff or space.
Parking is paid street parking.
