Now in its 10th year, Neighbour Day is an opportunity for Calgarians to celebrate our community spirit and kindness.
Neighbour Day started in June 2014 to recognize the incredible outpouring of support and generosity of neighbours following the 2013 floods. Each year on the third Saturday in June, we continue to celebrate one of the things that makes Calgary such a great city—our strong and caring communities.
