Give back to the community, help those in need, and have fun doing it!
Calgary Bow River is a service club established in 1977, and one of several clubs in Calgary, Alberta, Canada that espouse the Aims and Objectives of the Canadian Progress Club.
Fun and fellowship are the backbone of Calgary Bow River's community service and fundraising. The club and its members believe in this simple principle: Give back to the community, help those in need and have fun doing it!
Among those groups benefitting from the proceeds of Calgary Bow River's fundraising events is Big Brothers Big Sisters of Calgary and Area (BBBS), which receives a significant portion of its annual revenue from the club's donations. In addition to funding, the club contributes to the administration of BBBS programs through representation on the agency's Board of Directors and sub-committees, and through participation in the programs themselves. Other charities that Calgary Bow River supports are Varity Children's Charity of Alberta and PREP Society for individuals with Down Syndrome.
Calgary Bow River has attained high honors within Progress. Distinctions include several members who have served as National President, been awarded the coveted Progressian of the Year, and received the Western Region Bill Durrant Memorial Award for Excellence.
