Community Involvement

At Sunnyside Natural Market we recognize the great importance of active and positive participation in our local community. Through donations to community initiatives and charitable organizations, and participation in local events, we support new and existing forms of positive community building in Sunnyside and the greater Calgary area. Whether co-organizing Urban Farming Workshops, donating food to local school fairs, or accepting 20% Calgary Dollars (Calgary’s local barter currency) on purchases, Sunnyside Market warmly and generously contributes to our local community.
