The Impact of Inclusive Communities on Societal Growth

Inclusive communities make us all grow better, together. They bring different folks to the same table - sparking ideas and building friendships.

Emphasizing diversity and active living

Diversity and active living come together like peanut butter and jelly at places like the Genesis Centre. This spot isn't just a building; it's a hub where fitness meets cultural festivals.

Think about it—where else can you find summer camps, sports leagues, and spaces meant for every kind of get-together? The Genesis Centre shines as an example, winning the 2020 TD Inclusion & Diversity Award by Pride In Business.

It’s clear they’re doing something right.

Genesis Place in Airdrie takes things up a notch with its hockey rinks, soccer fields, pools—you name it. It's not just promoting an active lifestyle but also ensuring there's room for everyone to play, relax, or learn something new.

With facilities hosting everything from multicultural events to community health programs, these places are powerhouses of societal inclusiveness. Plus, let’s not forget the pop-up clinic vaccinating folks against COVID-19.

Genesis Land is all about bringing people together. They're cooking up ways to connect folks from all walks of life in their neighborhoods. Think fun events, parks where kids can play side by side, and homes that fit everyone's needs—kind of like throwing a big block party, but make it every day.

Development of mixed-use neighborhoods

Mixed-use neighborhoods are key to what Genesis Land does. They blend homes, parks, and shops in one place. This mix makes life easier and more fun for everyone. Think walking to a café or playing in the park just steps from your door.

Genesis Land designs these areas so people can enjoy life both inside and outside their homes. It's all about making spaces where folks can gather, play, and relax.

With projects like modern playgrounds and beautiful water features, they create spots that everyone loves. Plus, the Genesis Centre is a big deal—it won an award for being welcoming to all kinds of people in 2020.

This place isn't just pretty; it's useful too! They even have a Commons Ambassador to help out and items you can borrow to enjoy the space. Next up? Let’s talk about partnerships that make these communities even better.

Partnerships with philanthropic organizations

Genesis Land partners with philanthropic organizations to make big impacts. They've donated a huge 225,000 sq. ft. space for the Genesis Centre in Northeast Calgary. Plus, they give to local groups like Community Links and light-up smiles at events such as the Airdrie Festival of Lights and Bright Lights Event.

They also collaborate with local businesses for cool stuff like the Annual Babybook and Bike Tune Pop-Ups. Jonah Ardiel, who makes business moves at the Genesis Centre, knows working together sets the stage for better inclusion policies.

By supporting community charities and sponsoring fun events, Genesis Land shows everyone's welcome.
