Wellspring
Wellspring Day 2023

2022 marked the start of what Sistership hopes to be a long and memorable experience with Wellspring Calgary.

Wellspring Alberta is a registered charity offering free programs and services that meet the emotional, social and practical needs of people living with cancer – those diagnosed, caregivers and kids.

Sistership comes together with the Wellspring young adult’s community for an afternoon of kinship and paddling.

Wellspring helps to heal the mind, heart and spirit.
