We’ve organized the Unsprawling Forum into a small number of categories, divided by their function instead of by the interest they represent.
Creating clear expectations for different spaces helps users contribute confidently. Hosting a small number of these spaces ensures each space is home to an engaging density of conversation, filled with a variety of perspectives.
We hope you find (and share!) what you love about Calgary, in this well-rounded and inclusive community.
Below we’ve provided a list with brief descriptions to help you understand the intended use of each category!
