PGI – 2019

Where can you find an event to support learners and sample wines from amazing wineries?

Since 1979, the CanLearn Society has helped improve the lives of thousands of children, adults, and families with learning, attention, and literacy challenges. We have 40 years of proof that our services and programs work! Our clients experience better success at school, home, and work ultimately improving their lives. We believe that everyone has the potential to become a successful learner — IF they have access to the services, they need to help them read and learn with confidence.

We invite you to join us this year, as we host the fifth Annual Uncorking Potential event, continuing the tradition of the late Peter Gzowski’s legacy, to celebrate literacy and learning, poetry, music, and student success.

100% of funds raised at this event stay local and supports our work as a leader in services for learning and attention difficulties and an innovator in literacy programs.

The fundraiser will be held at Fort Calgary, on September 19, 2019, from 6-9pm.

You can purchase tickets for the event by clicking here.

Hope to see you there!
