Big Meet Up - Big Celebration

Find a recap and reflection of CDLI’s Big Meet Up Big Anniversary celebration here.

happy meet up faces!

Meet Ups give me a chance to hear from others about creative community initiatives happening in other areas of the city.  I appreciate how we share stories, information about  resources, and what we have learned.  I have met many inspiring people that I would never have met otherwise!

community Development Practitioner Gatherings

CDLI hosts monthly Open Space-style conversations for Community Development Practitioners to come together with their peers and discuss the topics, questions, opportunities, or challenges most top of mind for them at the time.
Topics can be submitted through Eventbrite or by emailing us at cdli@caryacalgary.ca.

Who is a Community Development Practitioner?
Anyone who works in community (paid or unpaid, volunteer with an organization or in a group of neighbours big or small) to welcome people and come together to take collective action for common good.

To be added to CDLI’s CD Practitioner mailing list, send a quick note to cdli@caryacalgary.ca!

I appreciate the chance to build relationships.... online platforms allow for meaningful connections I wouldn’t be able to make otherwise.
