Community Involvement

The Calgary Sport & Social Club (CSSC) does more than meet Calgarians’ sport and social needs. We are a community-minded organization that strives to support local charities, groups and causes. Fundraisers, gift cards, monetary support, and equipment and clothing donations are just a few of the ways we have committed to giving back not only to sport, but to the rest of the community as well.

Our Mission: The CSSC will support the local community and help others. The Club will assist organizations that have similar values and/or a passion for making Calgary a better City for everyone to call home. As well, the CSSC will lead by example and promote ecological awareness in order to help reduce the impact on the environment.

SSC Inclusion, Anti-Discrimination and Anti-Racism Policy

The Sport and Social Club (SSC) recognizes that racism, discrimination, harassment, bullying, and violence is harmful to our community, not only for the group(s) targeted, but for all SSC participants. The SSC is committed to creating and maintaining a safe sport environment which is free of discrimination and harassment, where all individuals are treated with respect and dignity, can contribute fully and have equal opportunities. All SSC participants are expected to uphold these values and actively maintain a sport environment that fosters respect, is anti-discriminatory, and actively anti-racist.
