Together, Let’s End Poverty in Calgary

Vibrant Communities Calgary (VCC) works to reduce poverty in Calgary. Through our stewardship of Enough for All, Calgary's community-owned poverty reduction strategy, VCC aims to ensure that Calgary is a strong, supportive and inclusive community where everyone has sufficient income and assets to thrive and where all Indigenous people are co-creators in our city's future.
