2023 Annual Report

Welcoming more teams back to the September Games while big changes happened behind the scenes!

2023: Building Momentum & Big Changes!

Our team entered the year excited to continue the success of 2022, and we were thrilled to see that more and more companies were putting an emphasis on building employee engagement and a strong corporate culture.

We celebrated good vibes with our annual theme, CCC Fest, and announced the long-awaited return of Darts among our roster of 23 events for the September Games! We saw an increase in attendance across everything from our Off-Season Human Bonspiel and Slo-Pitch Tournament, to Trivia and our Stampede Party. By the end of the year, we had raised over $290,000 for our local charity partners, and hosted over 9,500 participants among various sports, games, and social events.

On top of that, exciting (and bittersweet) changes were happening behind the scenes as we welcomed a new staff member, Morgyn, and said goodbye to our friends Dave, Taylor, and Hayley as they set off on new adventures throughout the year.

We Love Our Volunteers!

We couldn't do what we do without each and every volunteer in our network.

Every year, Calgary Corporate Challenge relies on hundreds of Company Volunteers to help with check-in, scorekeeping, and results. In addition to that, we also have a dedicated group of Primary Volunteers who act as CCC representatives while our staff bounces from event-to-event during the Games.
