2012 marked the centennial anniversaries of the Calgary Stampede, the City of Calgary Recreation, the Calgary Public Library, Pumphouse theatre, and others. The programs and events hosted by these organizations have had a real impact on our lives as Calgarians. With our city being designated as the Cultural Capital of Canada, seize the opportunity to join BPW Calgary, in our role as a cultural ambassador, to dream big and honour the richness of Calgary’s cultural resources.
As we bring the year to an end, we will celebrate by showcasing culture and how we can lead with inspiration and push boundaries of expression within the business and professional community.
