Calgary Chapter

Contact Persons Carla Stevens cwrasyp.calgary@gmail.com

Description The Calgary Chapter was launched in January 2006. The launch coinsided with our first chapter event which was held at UofC in the Faculty of Environmental Design. A guest speaker from Alberta Environment gave an interactive talk on the changing role of water managers in Alberta and opportunities for students and young professionals in water related fields in the province. A core SYP team was established in Februrary 2006 and includes students from UofC and young professionals from a range of disciplines. The core team meets approximately once a month and has organized and participated in several events since the launch including: a Bow River Clean Up, a showing of the Bow River Float film, a review of the Water in the West Senate Report, an academic speaker event at UofC, the Youth Environmental Summit in Kananaskis, as well as leisure activities. The Calgary chapter is always looking for new members and new event ideas. Please contact the chapter leader if you are interested in getting involved.
