Owerko Centre Community Connections

The Owerko Centre Community Connections Day is a chance for children, youth, families and community members to explore some of the incredible research happening right here at the University of Calgary.

This event brings research to life in a way that’s engaging and designed for all ages, helping connect our community with some of the the ideas and discoveries shaping children’s development and wellbeing. Learn more about several major research studies, meet the people behind the work and take part in activities designed to make science approachable and fun.

Stay tuned for updates on our next Community Connections Day, happening in September 2026. 

Many research studies rely on community participants with lived experience. The Owerko Centre gratefully acknowledged the thousands of individuals and families who have given their time to make an impact and participate in research.
