New programs
This year we are continuing to develop STEM specific programs while enhancing our Seniors Programs and our Summer Camp Programming. The Cadet Programs continue to evolve and we continue to seek out meaningful ways of incorporating more diversity into our programming to coincide with Black History month for example. In fact the Foundation is working with the Calgary Black Chambers (CBC) to develop programs designed to inspire engage and educate the public on the contribution of BIPOC communities to Canada’s rich military history and heritage.
