Rotary Club Donation

In a heartwarming display of community support, Sonshine has received a remarkable donation of $70,000 from Jim and Don of the Rotary Club of Calgary at Stampede Park (the largest amount given to a single charity in Calgary this year). This generous contribution will fuel the internal renovation of Sonshine's Connection Centre, a space designed to foster a sense of community, engagement, and support. It will allow for a greater scope of programming, activities and hospitality for our residents and staff.

To honour the remarkable contribution from Rotary Stampede Park, we will proudly place a commemorative plaque on the wall of our Connection Centre, acknowledging their extraordinary gift and everlasting impact on Sonshine Community Services.

Her resilience became an inspiration, not only to her children but to everyone witnessing her incredible journey. We are so proud of her for receiving her well-deserved diploma. It is a moment that symbolizes not only academic success, but also her strength and courage that carried her through her darkest days.

Indigenous History Month

(June 21st is National Indigenous Peoples Day)

This month is a time to celebrate, honour and recognize the history and heritage of Inuit, First Nations and Métis peoples in Canada. Sonshine honours and acknowledges Treaty 7 lands as the traditional territory of the Siksika, Kainai, Tsuut'ina, Piikani, Nakoda and the Métis of Region 3, of the Métis Nation of Southern Alberta that Sonshine resides on.

During Indigenous History Month and throughout the year, our goal is to create various events, activities, and educational workshops to promote awareness and understanding of Indigenous cultures, traditions, and histories. These initiatives aim to foster dialogue, bridge gaps, and promote reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples. Hit the button below to learn more!
