Every meaningful connection has a beginning. ❤️

Sometimes, it's a shared interest. Sometimes, it's a simple conversation. And sometimes, it's an introduction that becomes something neither person could have imagined.

For Iluta and Amelia, it started with a match made through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Calgary and Area.

But their story is about so much more than mentorship. It's about friendship, belonging, and the incredible things that can happen when someone shows up for another person.

Over the coming weeks, we're going to share their story, one chapter at a time.
And behind every chapter? People like you.

Today, we're officially launching our 2026 Winter Appeal, with a goal of raising $50,000 by December 31 to fuel the dedicated people, programs, and professional support that make safe, meaningful mentoring relationships possible.

And right now, your generosity can go twice as far!

Thanks to a generous donor, gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to a total matching contribution of $20,000.

That means your $50 can become $100. Your $100 can become $200.
Because every meaningful mentoring relationship begins with people who believe in what's possible.

Help us fuel the next connection.

🌺 Today, we remember.

On Remembrance Day, we honour the courage, sacrifice and service of the Canadians who have served our country, including those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

We also recognize the families, loved ones and communities who have carried the impact of that service across generations.

Today, we reflect on the sacrifices made by those who came before us and the importance of carrying forward the values of compassion, courage and service to others.

To all who have served, and those who continue to serve, we thank you.

Lest we forget. ❤️

Today, on Indigenous Veterans Day, we honour the First Nations, Métis and Inuit Veterans who have served, and those who continue to serve, in Canada’s military.

At BBBS Calgary, we believe young people deserve to see their communities’ stories reflected and honoured. Learning about Indigenous Veterans is part of understanding our shared history—and carrying their stories forward.

Calgary’s Field of Crosses hosts public Sunrise and Sunset Ceremonies from November 1–10, including today, November 8. We encourage our community to take a moment to reflect, learn and remember.

We honour their service, remember their sacrifices and recognize our shared responsibility to advance truth and reconciliation.

We are beyond grateful and inspired to share the impact of 15-year-old local leader Aila and the incredible difference she has made in our community!

In recognizing the impact that positive role models and supportive adults can have in a young person’s life, Aila set out to make a difference for her peers. On September 12, she organized and hosted a private charity badminton tournament, complete with a silent auction, with the goal to raise $5,000 and unlock a door through our 94 Doors Campaign.

Thanks to her vision, hard work, and her community's generous support, she surpassed her goal, raising more than $5,000!

Behind every mentoring match is intentional recruitment, professional screening, ongoing training, and dedicated caseworkers who help ensure safety and success of the match. Through her incredible dedication as a key holder for the 94 Doors Campaign, Aila has provided vital support to help our organization build the capacity needed to facilitate more matches.

From all of us at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Calgary and Area: THANK YOU Aila, you really stepped up to open a door of possibility for a young person!

Because of your continued commitment, young people in our community will stay connected with caring mentors who can support them in discovering their confidence and potential.

To everyone who swung a club, placed a bid, or gave from the heart: THANK YOU again. For 24 years, you have shown up for Calgary’s young people, and we couldn’t be more grateful. See you on the green next year for our 25th annual tournament!
