Community

Urban Venus Nail Bar has been in the Calgary community since 2003. Since our inception we have always practiced a philosophy of giving back to our local community by donating our time, monetary donations and/ or gift certificates. One of our favorite charities that Urban Venus Nail Bar has previously worked with is TELUS Spark, the new Science Center. 

Urban Venus organized a yearly run called The Urban Venus Deliciously Sweet Run where all of the donations raised at the event were donated to the TELUS Spark’s Community Connections Program. Through this program, TELUS Spark gives Lending Membership to vital non-profit, charitable organizations and agencies in Calgary, who most need a subsidized access option. Your previous support of the Deliciously Sweet Run will go to families who may not normally have the chance to experience TELUS Spark, the opportunity to visit numerous times throughout the year, to explore science, technology, engineering, art and math.

The Lending Pass allowed me and my four children and my husband to go to TELUS Spark for the first time. The girls begged me to go back the following day, which we gladly did.”

“Thank you so much for this opportunity. It provided a fun day out in the midst of a difficult year. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.“- Community Connections Visitor, 2013

          “I’m excited about the Lending Membership Cards as I foresee them opening doors for many of my clients.” - Elizabeth Chong, Community Outreach/Development Coordinator, Hillhurst-Sunnyside Community Association

 “Thank you so much for the great opportunity for my family to enjoy the science centre. It truly was amazing and when I asked my daughter what her favourite part was, she said, ‘everything!’ – our family thanks you.”- Community Connections Visitor, 2013

“Your help has been invaluable for the Agency and the vulnerable families we serve. So many of the families we work with love the Science Centre and would otherwise never be able to afford to attend. This helps my Program as well, since it is very satisfying to be able to help people with such a great opportunity.”

-          Chris Poirier, Recreation Partnership Coordinator, Hull Services 

“Thanks. It’s such an important program to give clients and families in need access to a valuable resource they wouldn’t otherwise have.”
