Our Speaker Karen Young
 
Maxine Morrison introduced our speaker Karen Young of  the United Way, who welcomed four of our Hubs community partners and facilitated a panel titled "The Power of Collaboration".  Together, these partners shared stories of the many communities and families we are supporting through our partnership.
 

The Community Hubs initiative is a partnership between United Way of Calgary and Area, The City of Calgary, and Rotary Club of Calgary, in support of two of the Enough for All Strategy's four goals.

  1. All Calgary communities are strong, supportive, and inclusive
  2. Everyone in Calgary can easily access the right supports, services, and resources
Poverty is a barrier to opportunity and negatively affects well-being, health, and overall quality of life. Each month, many Calgarians have to make tough choices like whether to pay the rent or buy groceries.
