Engagement
Community Involvement
Sistership members spread our message of hope, strength, and wellness through paddling and cultivating a presence in our community.
YMCA
Sistership has a long-standing relationship with the YMCA. They have kindly provided space for pre-season dryland and pool training sessions in their facilities. In addition, the YMCA generously donates full -year memberships to Sistership paddlers.
In appreciation, Sistership participates in:
The “Let’s Raise” Campaign

Camp Chief Hector
Sistership rolls up our sleeves each spring out at Camp Chief Hector! Members spend the day preparing the site for campers. Sistership members enjoy a beautiful day in the mountains while lending a helping hand.
CIBC Run for the Cure
Sistership supports this event by registering a team to raise funds. We also host a booth to promote wellness and community through paddling for breast cancer survivors.
Wellspring
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.
