In everything the Calgary Interfaith Council does, we value people’s stories, we believe we learn from listening to multiple perspectives and we affirm that we are better together. In celebration of the CIC’s 10th Anniversary in 2027, we are collecting stories: Who have we been and who are we becoming?

In the summer of 2026,  a team from the CIC began using Generative Journalism to uplift the stories, strengths and hopes of CIC members and friends. We highlight our shared history as an organization, as well as bring to life the stories of CIC members. We explore with them the exciting, emerging initiatives currently unfolding in their communities.
