Our Signature Gala: INNfluence
Save the date for Saturday, November 2, 2024, for the 3rd annual INNfluence Gala, presented by Calgary TELUS Convention Centre, Marriot Hotels, Encore and Modern Rentals.
An INNcredible night of entertainment, experiences and exquisite food. INNfluence is an event where the energy is palpable as Calgary’s influential community unites together in the fight against family homelessness.
By definition, influence refers to “the capacity to have an effect.” At Inn from the Cold, INNfluence, speaks to the collective ability our community has in ending family homelessness.
For over 25 years, Calgarians have INNfluenced Inn from the Cold’s ability to support those in need.

In 2024, we embark on a new journey, capturing the essence of transformation through a vibrant, dazzling, and lively evening experience inspired by the enchanting world of contemporary circus acts.
This year’s theme, Le Cirque de L’espoir, pays homage to the indomitable spirit of families facing homelessness — showcasing not only their resilience but also the enduring strength that propels them toward a brighter future.
Join us for a night where the magic of the circus converges with the unwavering hope, resilience, and strength embodied by the families we support. Through your continued support, we are dedicated to fostering hope, building resilience, and fortifying the strength needed to create positive change in the lives of families in need.

Steps to End Homelessness
Join us for the 13th annual Steps to End Homelessness event, presented by Tamarack Valley Energy on Sunday, April 28 at the McHugh Bluff stairs in Crescent Heights.
Steps to End Homelessness was founded in 2009 by community advocate Suzanne West – born out of her desire to change the world and her commitment to advocate for the less fortunate. Suzanne’s passion and determination to end child and family homelessness was contagious and tireless. Steps to End Homelessness presented by Tamarack Valley Energy, has been one of Inn from the Cold’s most significant fundraising events. Now hosted by Inn from the Cold, the event is in Suzanne’s memory, with donations matched by Power of One Foundation – Suzanne’s charitable foundation now operated by her family. This means every dollar you raise will be doubled, having twice the impact. We are honoured to continue her legacy, and we hope you will join us for the 13th year to make this the most successful Steps to End Homelessness to date.
Presented by:
Steps to End Homelessness would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors: Tamarack Valley Energy and Power of One Foundation, in honour of Suzanne West.
