Join us for October Hot Drinks Fest — sip, vote, and support local cafés and restaurants.

YYC October Hot Drinks Fest brings our city together in the spirit of fall to celebrate and support older adults. More than half of Calgary's seniors live below the poverty line, and rising costs of living are making it harder than ever to get by. Unison works hard to change that through our Elder Abuse Shelter, Thrive Food Security Programs, free annual tax clinic, and vital support for seniors who have nowhere else to turn. We provide connections for seniors who have lost the people closest to them, and delivery essential services so that seniors live in dignity, and lead healthy, happy lives.
