Neighbour Day - Live & In-person at YW Hub


We’re excited to host a party in YW Calgary’s parking lot in celebration of Neighbour Day on Saturday, June 18 from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm. This is a great way to kick off the summer and YW Calgary would love your families to celebrate with us!


We will have live music and family-friendly activities led by our Mindful Moments, Family Resource Network, and Women’s Economic Prosperity teams. The Little Red Reading Van will be parked and ready for little readers, and the Esker Foundation will bring some looms for people of all ages to try out.


Note: Visitor parking at the Hub will not be available the day of the event. Please consider walking, biking, or taking public transit to get to the event, or find street parking nearby.

Rose & Croquet


Join us for the second annual Rosé and Croquet, the Garden Party of the year hosted by the Deane House in support of YW Calgary!

Returning from a three year hiatus, the spectacular garden setting at Deane House sets the scene for this sensational event. Graze the exquisite canapés from Deane House and River Café, explore chef stations throughout the gardens, and enjoy rosé libations and other refreshments. Have some fun over a round of croquet with the Kinkonauts improv group while listening to live jazz at the social event of the season.

 

As the Deane House's primary fundraiser of the year, proceeds from Rosé & Croquet will be donated to YW Calgary in support of women and families in our community. Community support like this is critical to our ability to meet the needs of the women and their families who seek our help.

 

Rosé & Croquet will feature experiences from The Prosecco Cart, The Kinkonauts, Monogram Coffee, Calgary Chalk Artist, Live Jazz by Zoe Theodorou, and music by DJ Joanna Magik. Learn more and purchase tickets at https://www.deanehouse.com/roseandcroquet

Fitness Tip: Cardio Choices

With so many options available, are you wondering what kind of cardio is best? Should you be on the treadmill, hitting the spin bike, or going for the elliptical? The answer is… you should do what feels best for your body. As long as you’re maintaining your target heart rate through consistent or interval-style movement, the benefit to your heart and cardiovascular system will be the same.
