October 15, 2019 Dear Friends, Thank you for participating in the inaugural ActiveCITY Summit. As a result you are now part of the ActiveCITY Collective which is a collaboration of not-for-profit, for- profit and public-sector organizations and individuals engaged in Calgary’s regional active economy. Our shared objective is to collaborate, debate, learn and connect to shape system wide solutions. The Summit was just our first step. Our ultimate goal is transforming Calgary into Canada’s most livable region by maximizing the potential of our natural competitive advantage – the active economy. For too long, our active economy has been simply a sum of its parts. The ActiveCITY Collective is focusing on improving collaboration and connectivity that will result in a more efficient and effective system. A system that leverages our natural advantages – people and place. This report is a summary of the input and feedback from the ActiveCITY Summit. But as we said, this is only the start. The most common question we have been asked is – “what can I do now” and we have tried to answer that in the final section, with our call to action. Over the next year, the ActiveCITY Collective, with your leadership, will engage a minimum of 65,000 Calgarian’s to develop an ActiveCITY Playbook – a collective vision and framework for maximizing the potential of our active economy and to transform Calgary into Canada’s most livable region. The final section of this report provides a roadmap on how you can help lead the transformation of our ActiveCITY Collective. This report thus includes: Section 1: Thinking Different: Exploring Calgary’s Active Economy Section 2: Acting Differently: Shaping the Future of Calgary’s Active Economy Section 3: A Call to Action. Your Turn to Lead. Appendix: Participants and Raw Notes Finally, we must recognize the real rocket fuel of our active economy – the amazing ActiveCITY volunteers, including our Mount Royal University students. The ActiveCITY Summit would have not been possible without their support Thank you again for your ongoing support!
