The IMPACT! Training is based on a proven sustainability strategy framework and includes delivery by highly experienced facilitators, sessions with experts in the Calgary community, ongoing mentorship post-training to support the progress of your sustainability leadership, and access to apply for up to $5,000 funding to accelerate your ideas. Thanks to our supporters and partners, the program participant fee is only $300, and financial assistance is available to help ensure this fee is not a barrier to participation.
