TRELLIS IN THE COMMUNITY
Hockey Helps The Homeless
Hockey Helps the Homeless is an organization that leverages Canada’s affinity for hockey to raise awareness and financial support for homeless-serving organizations. Trellis Society is fortunate to be a partner agency that receives support through their initiatives and last November the Calgary tournament raised $224,000 for local housing projects and programs. We are grateful to have been involved in the event and surrounded by such a committed hockey community!

Bowness Stampede
Every year the Bowness Community holds their own Stampede celebration to kick off this great week in our city. Our Bowness Club jumped in with face painters, lawn games, candy and more, loving every moment of connection between the families in our programming, community members and our Bowness partners. We can’t wait until next year’s celebration!
Neighbour Day
Calgary’s Neighbour Day began in June of 2014 to celebrate the incredible outpouring of support and generosity that neighbours demonstrated after the 2013 floods. It was important to continue celebrating one of the many things that makes Calgary such a great city — our strong and caring communities.
At Trellis Society we believe that when neighbourhoods thrive, the people who live there thrive too! On June 18th we were excited to be part of Neighbour Day events in Albert Park-Radisson Heights, Bowness, Pineridge and at our downtown Avenue 15 Youth Shelter. We were honoured to spend time in the communities we serve and celebrate this day with hundreds of Calgarians.
