Calgary's Mental Health and Addiction Strategy Community of Practice

In 2025, The City launched a Community of Practice to expand participation in the Calgary’s Mental Health and Addiction Strategy. Guided by recommendations from the Strategy’s Five-Year Evaluation, this initiative is open to all organizations working to improve mental health and addictions outcomes in the community.

The Community of Practice provides opportunities to:

  • Learn about funding opportunities for programs and services.
