CBC Calgary’s communications team has travelled all over Alberta this summer, proudly connecting with communities through event activations and partnerships. <\/p>\n

We kicked off our summer with the Canada Day national broadcast in Banff.<\/p>\n

The local communications team and CBC Vancouver journalist Gloria Macarenko hit the streets and interacted with the crowd on Bear Street. The team had conversations illustrating a wide range of perspectives from around the world. Many people shared high-energy Canada Day shout-outs and were excited to be featured on the broadcast. <\/p>\n

Following the Canada Day broadcast, CBC partnered with the Genesis Centre for its annual Stampede Breakfast. The breakfast, which took place on July 10, is a major event in Calgary’s northeast. More than 4,000 people attended this year. <\/p>\n

In addition to our activation site, five of our hosts (Jenny Howe and Chris dela Torre (The Homestretch<\/a>), Paul Karchut (Daybreak Alberta<\/a>), Angela Knight and Loren McGinnis (Calgary Eyeopener<\/a>) participated in the event by flipping pancakes at the main grills and connecting with families. <\/p>\n

The following week, the CBC Calgary communications team headed to Sylvan Lake to support CBC Edmonton’s partnership with the Sylvan Lake Municipal Library. The annual Jaws at the Lake<\/a> event draws more than 1,000 visitors, and screens the classic 1975 film Jaws for the community on a dual split screen, allowing watchers to view the film as they float along the lake at sunset. <\/p>\n

A few days after the Sylvan Lake event, the team headed to the WinSport Event Centre to cheer on the Calgary Surge in partnership with Canada’s professional men’s basketball league (CEBL). <\/p>\n

The game was played on July 21 against the Vancouver Bandits. The Surge secured a riveting victory, keeping the CBC team on its feet and cheering every step of the way. <\/p>\n
