Driven by a desire to make a difference in their community, William and Sharon Bieber, John and Marilyn Kish and reverends Bruce Vanstone and Michael Ward founded the Calgary Urban Project Society. For over 30 years, this non-profit organization has been helping those most in need by providing health care, education and housing. This assistance has enabled numerous adults and families to overcome the vicious cycle of poverty and to regain stability and dignity in their personal lives.
