"If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants" - Sir Isaac Newton

The Chief Youth Courage Awards is a celebration of leadership and result. Hosted by Chief Constable Neufeld of the Calgary Police Service, we will honour Dick Haskayne’s leadership in philanthropy and business, and the gift his shoulders have provided to the youth in Calgary. As well, we will award six young citizens that have shown tremendous courage in their journey with the Calgary Police Foundation’s funded programs, which support our City’s most vulnerable youth.

This elegant gala will feature an exclusive look into the Calgary Police Service, delicious drinks, interactive appetizer stations, dinner, and dessert, along with an exciting silent and live auction featuring amazing prizes. This event is also an excellent opportunity to network with some of Calgary’s most influential individuals while being inspired by our award recipients and guest speakers.

All ticket proceeds from the gala benefit the Calgary Police Foundation – a charity that is dedicated to keeping kids safe from crime and victimization by funding Calgary Police Service programs that focus on education, prevention, and early intervention.

Philanthropic Leadership Award Recipient – Dick Haskayne

The Calgary Police Foundation is very proud to announce we will be honouring and celebrating Mr. Dick Haskayne, a renowned Canadian businessman and philanthropist, at the 2020 Chief Youth Courage Awards.

As a recipient of the Order of Canada and the Alberta Order of Excellence for high ethical business standards and philanthropy, and the driving force behind the Haskayne School of Business, we are thrilled this honorable Calgarian will be joining us. As well as with a distinguished career, Mr. Haskayne, along with his wife, Lois, have contributed to the fabric of Calgary in many ways that have made the lives of so many citizens better.
