Fresh Start Recovery is looking for volunteer opportunities in our BIA

Fresh Start Recovery

Since Fresh Start Recovery moved into the Greenview area in 2012, connection to our community has been a cornerstone, fostering a spirit of connection, recovery, and mutual support among our community members and the wider neighbourhood. Fresh Start is rooted in the principles of the 12 steps of recovery, guiding individuals on a transformative journey toward personal growth and reconnection to the community. Throughout the years, we’ve not only focused on the recovery and well-being of our clients but also on how we can extend our hand to the community that surrounds us. We’ve participated in various local initiatives, from contributing to the Carden art installation and volunteering for the Tango 2 Echo festival to organizing community clean-ups and helping local businesses with needs around their buildings and so much more. We do this to demonstrate our commitment to making a tangible difference in the neighbourhood we call home.

Step 12 of the program of recovery emphasizes the importance of service and carrying the message to others in need, reflecting the belief that giving back is a crucial part of our own healing process. In this spirit, we are reaching out to members of the Greenview BIA to explore new ways to contribute to our community, aiming to share the powerful philosophy of service and community engagement with our clients. We believe that by working together, we can identify the needs within our neighbourhood and mobilize our resources and energy to meet them, thereby strengthening the bonds among us. We are excited about the opportunities and eager to continue giving back, enriching our client’s lives, and contributing to the vibrant community we are proud to be a part of.

If you have a project or event and could use a helping hand, we would be happy to be of service. Please contact Rod Garossino by E-mail at Rodg@freshstartrecovery.ca or call us at 403-387-6266 and let us know how we can work together.

Greenview Graffiti Jam

In the late 90s and early 2000s Greenview Industrial was home to a space called the “The Foundation”, which was a safe space for Calgary graffiti artists to practice their craft. This September Greenview saw 24 artists from across Western Canada come together to celebrate this Calgary and Canadian graffiti history. Four new murals were collaborated on, a zine documenting this history was produced, a photo show commemorating Calgary graffiti history went up at Congress Coffee, and there was a community event featuring a spray painting workshop.

Greenview’s new Graffiti Jam murals can be found at Associated Cabs, Boyd Autobody and Glass and two mobile murals in our BIA. Come check them out!

Escape Campervans (Calgary)

After five long months staying home because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the tourism industry has joined the choir of health and government officials into 'staycation'. Vacationing in your own backyard requires no passport. In this edition, we will tell you a hassle-free accommodation option.

Picture yourself and your loved ones sitting in one of these beautiful vans trekking through town after town that you usually pass by, and still be able to plan for a multiple-location road trip extravaganza. How does that sound? 

All Escape Campervans are wrapped with beautifully designed decals and they are truly workhorses when it matters most. 

"Albertans love going out to do sightseeing, camping, hiking, exploring the mountains and other tourism attractions. It's our DNA, a year-round routine," said Campervans shop manager Aaron (Calgary location: #2 316 36th Ave NE, Calgary T2E 2L5 AB)

During COVID-19, Aaron said that the business was taking a toll earlier but things are getting back up gradually. The company ensures they continue to provide a safe road trip option, exceptional customer service, and adequate health measures. 

"I clean any van a few times thoroughly before it can be turned over to the next client. Safety is always number 1."

If ever there was a year to see what the province has to offer staycationers, this is it. Before COVID-19, Alberta tourism was an multi-billion industry, supported by over 20,000 businesses, including many in Greenview. 

Now, take out your bucket list, make a plan, speak with Aaron at Escape Campervans' location in Greenview to book your next getaway! Call 1.877.270.8267 or visit their website. Follow them on social - Instagram | Facebook. 

Idle Eyes Collective

Idle Eyes Collective was established in 2020 on the mist of the pandemic. It is where diverse local photographers can embrace their passion in a braver and safer space. This space provides photographers to sharpen their skills, own their craft and explore their creativity. This creative space is not only for the members, but it is for the community as well. Anyone can rent the space for photography or even events. Idle Eyes Collective is all about providing a welcoming space for the community and promoting the photography culture right here in Calgary. 

As a local photographer, I found out about Idle Eyes Collective through an Instagram story. What attracted me to Idle Eyes Collective is that they promoted the space to be safe and inclusive in their Instagram account. As a photographer having a safer and more inclusive space is everything to me! I am a Filipino- Canadian living with Cerebral Palsy; I know that the world is not made for people like me. Photography allows me to matter in this world and enables people to see my perspective of society. 

2020 has been a tough year for me to get creative and build relationships. However, I  am blessed to have found Idle Eyes Collective because it helped me regain my love for photography. Idle Eyes Collective is more than just a collective; it is a family. Every member of Idle Eyes respect, support, and share resources with each other. For me, I am in awe of the work of every member at Idle Eyes Collective. All the talented photographers in the collective inspire me to keep getting better as a photographer and always make sure I am heard!
