Women’s <strong>Centre</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Calgary</strong><br />
<strong>2012</strong> Annual Report<br />
“The Women’s<br />
<strong>Centre</strong> gives me<br />
hope for the future.”<br />
“There is always<br />
someone willing<br />
to take the time to<br />
listen.”<br />
“I feel like I can be<br />
myself here.”<br />

the different women<br />
from different<br />
walks <strong>of</strong> life.”<br />

We Made a Difference!<br />
The Women’s <strong>Centre</strong> gathers feedback from women who use the <strong>Centre</strong>, volunteers, Board<br />
members, and staff to inform our work. Feedback was collected throughout the year using a<br />
variety <strong>of</strong> tools. In <strong>2012</strong>, we collected input from than 1,200 women.<br />
Here are some <strong>of</strong> our indicators <strong>of</strong> success:<br />

Women came in to the <strong>Centre</strong> to access our services 160 times every day. In addition, women<br />
phoned or emailed the <strong>Centre</strong> 85 times every day.<br />
In <strong>2012</strong>, we served a diverse community <strong>of</strong> women:<br />

15 Years <strong>of</strong> Support, Connections and Community<br />
At the Women’s <strong>Centre</strong><br />
we work in three strategic<br />
areas-helping women to Get<br />
Assistance with basic needs;<br />
providing a safe space and<br />
opportunities for women<br />
to Connect With Others;<br />
and addressing underlying<br />
causes <strong>of</strong> poverty and<br />
supporting women to Work<br />
For Change.<br />
We <strong>of</strong>fer trust-based<br />
services and look for ways<br />
to facilitate reciprocity so<br />
that all women may access<br />
assistance when they need<br />
it and <strong>of</strong>fer assistance<br />
as they are able to. We<br />
provide a safe, accessible<br />
space in which we work to<br />
build equity and celebrate<br />
diversity.<br />
Get Assistance<br />
In order to meet<br />
overwhelming demands,<br />
we were forced in <strong>2012</strong> to<br />
streamline. We cut some <strong>of</strong><br />
the places we made Basic<br />
Needs referrals. As a result,<br />
our contacts in this area<br />
were down slightly. At the<br />
same time, our time per<br />
contact increased by 18%,<br />
enabling us to spend more<br />
time with women.<br />
We continued to <strong>of</strong>fer an<br />
array <strong>of</strong> referrals to other<br />
community agencies and<br />
to <strong>of</strong>fer direct assistance<br />
with food, personal care<br />
supplies, Christmas and<br />
birthday gifts, bus tickets<br />
and grocery gift certificates.<br />
We provided Legal Advice<br />
Clinics, Commissioner <strong>of</strong><br />
Oaths and tax services. We<br />
took messages, collected<br />
mail and provided access to<br />
phones, computers, printer,<br />
fax and photocopier.<br />

Connect with<br />
Others<br />
We worked to provide<br />
a safe and welcoming<br />
space for women from all<br />
walks <strong>of</strong> life to meet new<br />
people, learn new things<br />
and build community. We<br />
<strong>of</strong>fered workshops and<br />
groups and had record<br />
attendance at events such<br />
as our Stampede Lunch<br />
and Feminist Walking Tour.<br />
We worked with more than<br />
a dozen other community<br />
organizations and unions<br />
to host a variety <strong>of</strong><br />
International Women’s Day<br />
events.<br />
Work for Change<br />
We continued our<br />
work on women and<br />
poverty, participating<br />
in the <strong>Calgary</strong> Poverty<br />
Reduction Initiative and<br />
the provincial Social Policy<br />
Framework consultations.<br />
We researched and wrote a<br />
position paper on provincial<br />
poverty reduction and<br />
met with <strong>Calgary</strong> MLAs,<br />
Associate Ministers and<br />
Ministers.<br />
We also began the<br />
community development<br />
work leading up to a<br />
women’s gathering, Make<br />
One Change, which we will<br />
host Saturday, June 15,<br />
2013. Twenty grassroots<br />
women’s groups will tell us<br />
about an issue impacting<br />
their lives and recommend<br />
a change which could<br />
improve their situations.<br />
Information about the<br />
gathering is available at<br />
www.womenscentrecalgary.<br />
org.<br />
Finally, after a long search<br />
we found a new home in<br />
Our vision: Women supporting communities, communities supporting women.<br />
Bridgeland. Overcrowding<br />
has been a serious issue at<br />
the Women’s <strong>Centre</strong> for a<br />
number <strong>of</strong> years. Our new<br />
location, which we will<br />
open in summer 2013, will<br />
almost double our space<br />
and allow us to focus on the<br />
future with the confidence<br />
that we can house our<br />
dreams. And we’re thrilled<br />
to be staying in the same<br />
neighbourhood!<br />
In <strong>2012</strong>, our work was done<br />
by more than 580 active<br />
volunteers supported by<br />
12 full-time and five relief<br />
staff. Our work is made<br />
possible by the generous<br />
support <strong>of</strong> our core funders<br />
the City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Calgary</strong> Family<br />
and Community Support<br />
Services and the United<br />
Way <strong>of</strong> <strong>Calgary</strong> and Area,<br />
as well as hundreds <strong>of</strong><br />
individual, company and<br />
foundation donors.
