In 2013 the city of Calgary was effected by a major flood which impacted the lives of thousands of Calgarians. The Croatian community in Calgary all came together in this time of distress to help raise funds to aid this crisis. Members and volunteers of the Croatian Community in Calgary all joined together to do what they could to help raise money for this devastating event, and as a community we were able to raise over $20,000 for the Canadian red Cross to help support the Calgary flood.
