LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY INITIATIVES

The Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation (CSEC) and the Calgary Flames Foundation are proud to introduce the creation of the CSEC Inclusion Program. This program is comprised of a $2 million investment in sport inclusion through the Calgary Flames Foundation, along with the establishment of organizational and community partnerships and programs that promote inclusion.

The following are programs, partnerships and events to support the LGBTQ+. Please note, these are introductory partnerships as the launch of the program.

You Can Play (https://www.youcanplayproject.org/)

This partnership with You Can Play will support educational resources for CSEC teams along with a unique interactive educational experience for young athletes in football, lacrosse and hockey. The You Can Play Project works to ensure the safety and inclusion for all who participate in sports, including LGBTQ2S+ athletes, coaches and fans. This partnership supports the fight for fairness in the locker room and sport spaces everywhere.

The Calgary Flames Foundation mission is to support initiatives that bring positive change to the lives of Southern Albertans. The Flames Foundation is committed to supporting education, health and wellness, and grassroots sports.
