We Support YYC Moms

The Vivara Community Care Initiative is a grassroots partnership program that brings local businesses and postpartum support together creating a city where care for mothers is visible, shared, and woven into everyday community life.

A gentler way to support mothers in our city

  • Vivara partners with local businesses

    We invite businesses that align with maternal wellness, family support, and community care to join the initiative.

  • A small visible sign of support is placed in their space

    This may be a discreet resource card, bathroom sticker, plaque, or window sign that lets mothers know support exists.

  • The business becomes a Community Care Partner

    By simply displaying this support, they become part of Vivara’s growing community care network.

  • Vivara gives back

    Each month, Vivara gifts postpartum support to a Calgary mother through this initiative.
