Upcoming Events

Wear Pink and bring along a young woman as we embark on a two hour journey with Barbie to Self-Discovery. The Barbies, in this movie, live in a matriarchal society and hold prestigious jobs such as doctor, lawyer, and politician. This film has grossed $1.41 billion, becoming the highest-grossing film of 2023 as well as the highest-grossing film by a solo female director.

Meet us at 6 pm at the Cineplex Odeon Eau Claire Market Cinemas before the show starts so that we can enter the theatre together and be seated as a group. It will be an evening celebrating the voices and power of girls, championing their rights, and reflecting on the challenges they continue to face because of their gender.

Mentors are invited to bring their protegees along. This is also an opportunity for BPW members to bring their daughters, nieces, sisters, and female friends and colleagues!

Over the last 20 years, BPW Calgary has been making a profound difference in the lives of students at Bow Valley College. Each year, we invest in three to four scholarships to empower women with children who excel in their studies while leading their own households to gain access to post-secondary education.

BPW Calgary’s investment brings to life our values and commitment to our two core programs – scholarship and mentorship! We believe these are important pathways to prosperity. To respond to the global pandemic, BPW Calgary restructured its Mentorship program to meet the needs of working women. Come out and participate in the #AB50for50 human rights campaign during the Commission’s 50th Anniversary year and meet our scholarship recipients and mentorship graduates while bidding on silent auction items so that together we may break the cycle of generational poverty, close the education and workforce skills gap, and empower students and their families to succeed.

Tickets are required for reserved seating with our group. RSVP by June 25 (now extended to June 26). After this date, reserved seating space will not be guaranteed and the restaurant will seat you based on availability. You will still be able to access the silent auction space for bidding.
