Calgary on Purpose is a platform for Calgarians to share with each other what Calgary is to them and what they want their city to be.

Calgarians are ambitious. Hard-working. Compassionate. And fun! With these attitudes, we’ve achieved a lot in our history. And we​ bring out the best in ourselves and each other when we act with care and love (and are gentle with our differences). While we do not all share the same hopes and dreams, we can – together – build a​ connected and caring community​.

Calgary on Purpose hosts discussions with as many Calgarians as possible to build our shared story.

(MST, UTC-07) (MST, UTC-07)

The Prairie Emporium, Calgary, AB

Two sessions per night on December 4th and 5th, different artists each session.

SONIA PLAYS at 7 pm on DECEMBER 5 only!

Our sessions draw inspiration from traditional Nashville-style songwriters circles, breaking down barriers between the music, the songwriters, and the fans. Each song is stripped down to its rawest form and each performance reveals the story behind the music.

At every Blue Jay Session, the music is paired with a creative food and drink menus for an especially memorable experience.
