The countdown is on: only 4 weeks left to get your tickets!

The 2022 PGI season is here, and we are thrilled to be part of it! This year’s event, Farewell at the 19th Hole: Celebrating the final PGI for Literacy, will take place on Thursday, September 8th, fittingly on International Literacy Day.

Farewell at the 19^th Hole: Celebrating the Final PGI for Literacy is sure to be one for the books –performances by local country artist Lauren Mayell and Calgary’s poet Laureate Wakefield Brewster, Village Ice Cream, a chance to practice your golf putt for a prize, an exciting WestJet raffle and an amazing silent auction showcasing all that Calgary has to offer (Spolumbo’s Calgary Flames, D’Arcy Ranch Golf Club, Last Best Brewing, Bridgeland Distillery…plus MANY more!).

Since 1986, the Peter Gzowski Invitational has helped raise more than $15 million for literacy programs across Canada. However, after nearly four decades, 2022 will be the final PGI.

Given Peter’s and PGI’s incredible contributions to supporting literacy programs in Calgary, it is only fitting that we throw an amazing going away party – and we hope to see you there!

As the Alberta PGI partner, we remain committed to raising awareness about literacy and helping to support literacy programs throughout Calgary. 100% of the funds raised at this event stay local and support our work to make Calgary a vibrant city of lifelong learners. Shaw Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink will be matching all our funds raised up to 50% until August 31st, so make sure to get your tickets now!

Transitioning to Post-Secondary

This podcast may be beneficial for parents of teenagers or young adults who are considering attending university or college. Suggestions for making a smooth transition and information about funding, support and accommodations are provided.

Transitions can be stressful for youth with ADHD.

They often do better when their environment is structured and predictable. Transitioning to junior high, high school, post-secondary education or the workforce brings change into the ADHD families’ lives. Youth with ADHD may struggle to meet the increased demands in their new environment.

This section provides resources to help families plan ahead for transitions so that these times are less stressful for youth and their parents.
