Once monthly, JLC members host the NOURISH program at Highbanks.
The Junior League of Calgary remembers Doris Fyvie, an Emeritus Member. Doris died on January 7, 2021. Doris joined the League in 1963 and remained a member until her death. She was recognized during the Emeritus Tea, but she was unavailable for interview. As a lasting legacy of her commitment to the JLC, her family has asked that remembrance donations be directed to the NOURISH program.
