Who is USAY, you say? 🤔

Well, The Urban Society for Aboriginal Youth has been an influential not-for-profit organization in Calgary since 2001. USAY strives to provide essential programming and services to Calgary’s Indigenous youth between the ages of 12 and 29.

They provide a range of programming aimed to connect Indigenous youth and have created interactive media artworks that help educate the Indigenous teachings and experiences. Their background with innovative technology and roots in preserving culture made it so obvious for us to work with for Twilight Celebrations.

Come meet USAY and learn what they’re all about at Twilight Celebrations!
