The Calgary West Rotary Club

Members of the Rotary Club of Calgary West spent an inspiring day volunteering with Habitat for Humanity Southern Alberta at their Chestermere build site. From swinging hammers to lending helping hands, our team was proud to support affordable housing for local families.

It was a day filled with teamwork, laughter, and the rewarding feeling of making a lasting difference in our community. Thank you to everyone who participated and to Habitat for Humanity Southern Alberta for the incredible work they do every day.

Together, we’re helping build brighter futures — one home at a time. 💙💛

Rotary making a difference right here in Calgary!

The Rotary Club of Calgary West was proud to join 10 other Calgary Rotary Clubs in supporting major renovations at two HomeSpace affordable housing properties — Crescent Heights and Cliff Bungalow.

Together, Rotary funding helped complete over $163,000 in upgrades that improve safety, comfort, and dignity for vulnerable Calgarians. From new flooring and doors to parking lot reconstruction and drainage improvements, these renovations are helping create better homes and brighter futures.

🌷🐣 Happy Easter! 🐣🌷
Wishing you a wonderful Easter filled with fresh beginnings, bright spring colours, and moments of happiness with family and friends. 💐🐰

Brains + banter = a fantastic night! 🧠🎉

Our Rotary Trivia Night at Blowers & Grafton was full of laughs, friendly competition, and great fellowship. From tricky questions to team debates, it was a night to remember.

🏠🌏 Another Home. Another Family. Another Life Changed.

The Rotary Club of Calgary West is proud to announce that we are funding the construction of another home in Cambodia!

Through a $6,900 CAD grant to Bracelets4Buildings / Carpenters4Cambodia, we will help build a safe, secure home for a very needy family in Siem Reap.

This project:
✔ Employs and trains local Cambodian workers
✔ Purchases materials locally
✔ Supports the regional economy
✔ Provides measurable, life-changing results — one house at a time

Ross Mayer will be keeping us updated as construction begins in the coming months, including photos of the build and the key-turnover celebration when the family officially receives their new home.

Thank you to our members for continuing to support international projects that create dignity, stability, and hope.

Together, we are not just building houses — we are building futures. 💛
