Join Calgary Arts Academy in spreading warmth and generosity!

Our annual Loonie & Toonie Drive is a heartfelt initiative to support families of our own students experiencing financial challenges. We are accepting donations at all campuses until MONDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2025. All funds collected will be pooled to purchase Superstore gift cards for families within our school community who need some extra support this winter.

Another annual initiative to foster generosity and optimism within our community, is our Mitten Tree tradition. Students are asked to bring in NEW hats or mittens to decorate the trees at each of our campuses. On December 20, donations will go to Project Warmth to help those experiencing homelessness.

Together, let’s celebrate the spirit of giving and make this season brighter for our community.

Our community came together with heart, hope, and determination for the annual Terry Fox Run and the results are inspiring!

Thanks to you, we raised $1776.68 for cancer research through the Terry Fox Foundation! With an average of 90km per class, our campuses ran farther than the distance between Thunder Bay and Calgary, a powerful tribute to Terry’s legacy.

In 1980, Terry Fox ran over 4000km from St. John’s, NL to Thunder Bay, ON before being hospitalized. This year, our students carried that torch forward, showing that the Marathon of Hope lives on in every step we take.

Thank you to every student, teacher, and family member who made this possible. We are so proud of our community!
