Not only is it National Volunteer Week, but it's also National Tourism Week!
Every year, we are proud to host filmmakers and patrons from across Canada and around the world 💙
Calgary welcomed 10.5 million visitors in 2025 and it's easy to see why. From world-class restaurants and festivals to stunning attractions and unforgettable experiences, this city has something for everyone.
Tourism supports 84,000+ jobs across Calgary and drives $3.3 billion in visitor spending. That's the power of a city people love to visit.
Whether you're a Calgarian or discovering our city for the first time, there's never been a better time to explore everything Calgary has to offer.

Funny, honest, and deeply human, I Swear tells the inspirational true story of John Davidson, a trailblazer who refused to be defined by Tourette Syndrome and instead used his honesty and humour to help the world better understand what it means to live with it. From the remarkable true story of a young man who carved a path of his own, director Kirk Jones brings this powerful and uplifting film—an unforgettable blend of humour, heart, and humanity.
