100 ONE HUNDRED YEARS AND STILL GOING STRONG

That’s how the YWCA of Calgary celebrated its Centennial year of 2010. The power of the “W” has been serving women in Calgary for a century now, and as we enter our second century of service to Calgarians, we see both great demand and great opportunity. The strength of the YWCA of Calgary has always been to take the pulse of our community and respond to its current and emerging needs. That’s what keeps us relevant. That’s why we’ve been around for 100 years.

Our Centennial year was one of transition as we said to goodbye to our CEO of

nine years, Jill Wyatt. Jill steered us through one of our most challenging decades

and her warm yet strong leadership style was exactly what the YWCA needed for

the times. After an exhaustive search, the board was happy to announce that Sue

Tomney had accepted the CEO role. Sue brings a wealth of experience in both the

corporate and non-profit sectors to the organization and we look forward to working

with her in moving the YWCA of Calgary forward in new and exciting directions.

Although this annual report describes the highlights of the year 2010, we have also

incorporated highlights and stories from our 100-year history as well. These come

from our Centennial history book, entitled Creating Cornerstones: A History of the

YWCA of Calgary, which was a major undertaking to document our history, and our

place in Alberta’s women’s history. Our thanks go to the authors, Pernille Jakobsen

and Antonella Fanella, for proving that history can be anything but boring.

Especially ours.

Finally, as this is my final year as president, I would like to thank my board

colleagues for all of their hard work and valuable time they have given to the

organization. It has been my pleasure to lead the YWCA of Calgary as it enters its

next 100 years. And as an organization is only ever as good as its people, I would

like to thank the dedicated staff and volunteers that make the YWCA of Calgary

the special and caring place it is. The fact that we were named one of Alberta’s

Top 50 Employers is a fitting testament to the values we live on a daily basis.

As much as we are proud of our past, it’s the future that excites us. Our new

strategic direction will launch us into the next 100 years with strength and purpose

– which we know will ultimately benefit the Calgary women and their families who

depend on us.

Cathy Connolly, President

IN 1910… Women were being abused. But it was considered

a private matter, not to be discussed in public. Still,

some found their way to safety at the YWCA.

IN 2010…The YWCA Sheriff King Home is a leader in

domestic violence programming and services.

351 women and 405 children were kept safe in the

YWCA Sheriff King Home shelter.

1,153 men and women received counselling and support on how to

heal from the cycle of domestic violence.

441 children and youth took part in programs to prevent abuse or start

to heal from experiencing it.

From behind closed doors and out of

the shadows…

As the needs of the Calgary community have

changed, the YWCA has changed with it.

The YWCA of Calgary today offers many more

programs and services than it did in 1910.

311 youth connected through our group Youth Advocate drop-in programs at one of three suburban locations.

81 children who otherwise could not afford it madelifetime memories at summer camp.

838 children and 960 parents took advantage of early childhood, parent education and family support services

through the YWCA Parent Link Corridor.

230 children received professional and accredited child care at one of our three centres.

1,587 children and youth took advantage of our home and school support programs.

The only constant is change...

A home to call her ownReprinted with permission from the Calgary Herald | By Valerie Fortney | April 7, 2011

Carrie Daniels’ one-bedroom apartment would fit into the family room of Calgarians who worship monster homes. For the 53-year-old mother of three, though, this cosy space is more than just her castle, it’s her respite from a life of despair, a miracle she’s been praying for years to come true.

“I’d pass by other people’s windows as they had dinner,” she says as she relaxes Wednesday in an easy chair in her living room. “I would think, ‘They don’t realize how fortunate they are to have a home.’ “

In November Daniels joined the ranks of the fortunate, as the first resident of an inner-city apartment building purchased by the Calgary Homeless Foundation [and run by the YWCA of Calgary] to provide affordable housing to homeless women.

It became a reality, thanks to a $1.59-million grant from the city, along with an interest-free $681,000 line of credit from First Calgary Financial. The line of credit has since been paid, courtesy of David Bissett, a businessman who has given millions over the years to various Calgary initiatives.

Known as The Ophelia, the building offers 15 bachelor and one-bedroom apartments for about $350 month, with 80 per cent of the units designated for low-income women transitioning from the YWCA Mary Dover House program, and the rest from other agencies that serve women experiencing homelessness.

An hour before a cupcake ceremony celebrating the project, and with officials from government, the YWCA of Calgary and others in attendance, Daniels welcomes me and my Herald colleagues, videographer Rick Donkers and photographer Leah Hennel, into her new home.

But she does so much more than that. By sharing her compelling story, she opens her heart and soul to us, strangers, to educate us about homelessness.

Daniels, a 30-year resident of this city, has long been part of a segment of society that struggles daily with poverty. Yet she always managed to keep a roof over the heads of her now-grown family doing whatever she could, from babysitting to housekeeping.

Seven years ago, after her youngest son moved out, she found that a minimum wage existence wasn’t enough to pay the rent and bills.

“I slept in my car sometimes, other nights on friend’s couches,” she says. “I was lucky, I had a lot of good friends.”

Last summer, she turned to the YWCA of Calgary. The organization, as part of the 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness, was involved in The Ophelia. A few months later Daniels was given the keys to her apartment.

“As soon as I closed the door behind me, I just started jumping up and down,” says Daniels, the tears starting to flow as she recounts that joyful day. “I just couldn’t stop crying. It was just a miracle. I phoned my best friend and told her, ‘You’ll never guess what? I have a home!’ “

As Daniels shares her story, Robina King, the newest tenant of The Ophelia, joins us.

“I just kept moving and moving and moving,” says King, a 54-year-old grandmother of her years long struggle with homelessness.

“You walk like you’re going somewhere, but you’re really not going anywhere.”

King says, through tears, she now walks with a purpose.

“I have a home to come to now, at the end of the day . . . You don’t know how good that it is until you go without.”

Before Daniels heads down to join her neighbours and the visiting VIPs for the cupcake ceremony, she makes sure to mention one more important part of her new routine.

“I say, ‘Thank you, Creator, for this place.’”[ Note to reader: the financial transactions referred to above are reflective of theCalgary Homeless Foundation and not the YWCA of Calgary.]
