Office of Partnerships

The City of Calgary invests in over 500 external organizations to deliver effective programs and services in targeted areas, develop and advance strategies, and construct and manage assets.

The Office of Partnerships is The City’s central, corporate coordinating group that stewards the Council-approved Investing in Partnerships Policy (the Policy) to support the consistent management of these relationships. The Office of Partnerships supports The City’s relationship with its most significant partners, Civic Partners, oversees strategy work related to Business Improvement Areas and manages relationships with social agencies funded through The City’s prevention investment programs (FCSS, CPIP and Capacity Building Program).
