King's Bridge

Since keeping folks who connect with us safe in the big, bad world of social media is important to us at KB, it's challenging to find pics to post (and rooms full of folks with their faces blanked out isn't ideal). So here's some empty spaces we've gathered in recently.

Yesterday my backyard was hosting an obstacle course for our Silly Games and Prizes BBQ, today it's cleaned up and hosting expanded solar capacity so (hopefully) the KB office can keep running on green energy through the fall and winter.

Summer’s height in Canada: a relaxed, less-structured, fleeting-moment with huge cultural influence.

Over the years we’ve continually had folks in our sphere of relationships struggling to hang on to the basic human right of a safe, stable place to live. The “earned privilege” delusion & victim blaming disintegrate quickly when you actually befriend people without homes. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

King’s Bridge’s Meta accounts are now fully deleted, so anyone using the KB name in the future on Meta platforms isn’t the same organization as us. Our web presence is now limited to Bluesky and our website (where there’s lots of info about what our community is, and what we do). kbcalgary.com

If you've attended at least 1 KB gathering in-person or via Zoom in recent months, consider signing up for the Community area of our (otherwise public) website. It's a private space where things like photos & posts can be safely shared that replaces our private Facebook group. www.kbcalgary.com/blog

We've got more great gatherings coming soon. As always, you'll find our upcoming events list and much, much more on our website.
