The City Centre has historically been the focal point for delivering programs and services to vulnerable and marginalized Calgarians, particularly those experiencing homelessness due to poverty, mental health and addiction issues.

People living and working in the City Centre have expressed an interest in better understanding vulnerable and marginalized Calgarians who live downtown. Social service agencies, business organizations, The City of Calgary and Calgary Police Service are partnering to provide workshops to respond to this interest.

About the workshops

Workshops provide participants with:

    Accurate information about Calgary’s homeless population,

    Sensitivity skills for relating to persons experiencing homelessness,

    Safety and non-violent crisis intervention techniques to increase confidence,

    Increased knowledge of available community resources to contact the appropriate agency when help or advice is needed.

This session is free to all BOMA members. $35 for non-members. Register your Operations & Security staff!
