Altamas strengthens Calgary neighbourhoods by connecting people to everyday support, shared skills, and community care.
Free, grassroots programs tailored to local needs across Calgary — from food sharing and digital literacy to youth mentorship and senior care.
Rooted in Calgary, built for community
