Yes! It was built in 1910 as the @YWcalgary. After YW moved out in the early 70s it became a co-location hub for small nonprofits. The building has been operated since ‘79 by a nonprofit that was first called the Old Y Centre for Community Organizations & now called CommunityWise

@community_wise is just over halfway to their fundraising goal to take care of a heritage building and open to space to such a diverse group of organizations! If you can help, please do! Perhaps @AlanZakrison, @harry_historian and @HeritageCalgary may be able to share?

The BLGC has made the decision to move the In Person Coffee Chat to an Online Coffee Chat on December 30th. Due to the rise in case numbers, the Omnicron Variant and safety being our first priority, we felt that there was no way we could proceed without too much risk associated.
