Everybody Plays is our way of ensuring that children and families in our community have access to all of the play, recreation, and social connection at Vivo.

An interesting thing happened when we asked our community about healthy living. They told us one of the key components to living a healthy life is caring for each other, as a community. That healthy living includes lifting your neighbour when they are down, coming together to support our vulnerable, and living the belief that we are better together.

Everybody Plays reached new heights when several of our neighbours and friends helped raise awareness and donations for community members in need.

Thanks to generous contributions and collaborations from community members and donors nearly 2300 children and adults were supported on their healthy living journey.

GEN H PLAY PROJECT

Speaking of play – in 2018 we welcomed a whole new team to the larger Vivo Team, meet The Gen H Play Project Team:

Kris Kelly-Frere | Moraig McCabe |  Anthony Bourque | Paige K Boudreau

These folks are bringing play to the neighbourhood.

With the help of the Public Health Agency of Canada and other incredible industry leaders, we’re taking play to the next level with our 4-year Gen H Play research project.

Our goal over the next 4 years is to achieve an increase of 10% across north-central Calgary in the following areas:

Outdoor Engagement | Social Connection | Intergenerational Socialization | Physical Activity | Spontaneous Play

Gen H Scholarship

“I embrace life as a journey by taking on all the challenges it has to offer.”

Kate is the 2018 recipient of the Gen H Scholarship – a scholarship intended to honor healthy students who are curious, courageous, and make an impact on their own health and the health of others.

Calgary Public Library

64% of kids are transferring new ways of play at home and at school.

Together with Mount Royal University, we helped the Library determine how changes to their Early Learning Centre spaces and programming has affected Library visitors, and to identify whether the needs of families are being met through their visits.

This means kids demonstrated an increase in constructive, dramatic, and physical play after visiting Early Learning Centres.

This development of lifelong learning habits and skills not only helps children to be more resilient– it helps raise healthier, happier, more playful generations. We saw children become advocates for play and ambassadors for trying new things – proving that learning extends beyond the walls and into homes, school, parks, backyards, and work.

Brookfield Residential

22% of Livingston residents feel neighbours are just acquaintances.

This year we kicked-off a ten-year longitudinal study with our friends at Brookfield Residential. Our aligned missions have set us on a path to build happier, healthier, more connected communities. This joint-effort helps us to ensure we are supporting the community’s need for social and community connection on their healthy living journey.

Our focus is on livability: the dimensions essential in any community that improve overall quality of life. Together, we are developing, testing, and measuring livability to create a Livability Framework that Brookfield can implement in the community planning process. We started by establishing a baseline to understand how our earliest residents live, interact, and play.

Shifting the needle on stats like this is something we aim to do, together. Over the next five years we aim to increase overall feelings of belonging by 10% and will focus on changes with residents, in the community, and at the sector level.

Expansion

As a charitable enterprise on a mission to raise healthier generations we pride ourselves every day in putting forth a joyful effort to fulfill our commitment to doing social good, as well as generate prosperity that allows us to reinvest back into the community and continue to bring our mission to life.

You will see all these wishes reflected in how the design elements of Canada’s one-of-a-kind Vivo Expansion come together. We are excited to be working with Dialog to bring this community dream to life.

Thank you to the Government of Alberta for their commitment of fifteen million dollars and to the City of Calgary for their contribution of twenty-two and a half million dollars. Thank you for being our champions.

With the support of our community and two levels of government, we continue on our way to expansion. In 2019 we will develop and launch a capital campaign with our friends at ViTreo and Good Company to support expansion and raise the remaining funding.
