The Honorable Order of the Blue Goose, International - Alberta Pond

Giving back to our community!

On Sunday, October 4th from 1:00 PM –3:00 PM, we’ll be volunteering with Brown Bagging for Kids and we’d love to have you join us!

Brown Bagging for Kids helps ensure children and youth have access to nutritious food at school. Their programs provide healthy lunches and snacks to students who may otherwise go without, helping kids feel supported, included, and ready to learn.

It’s a small way we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of local kids and while networking with industry partners!

- Sunday, October 4th
- 1:00–3:00 PM

What a fantastic evening at the Blue Goose Lobster Fest! 🦞

The room was packed, the conversations were flowing, and the menu did not disappoint - seafood chowder, fresh oysters, mussels, and, of course, plenty of lobster.

A sincere thank you to all of our sponsors for making this event possible. Your support helps create opportunities for connection and collaboration across the insurance industry.

Already looking forward to next year's feast! 🦞🍻

We're looking forward to seeing you all at our AGM on June 1st. Please RSVP to Samantha: [email protected] by the end of day Friday (May 29th)

This morning, the Blue Goose Ganders rolled up our sleeves to volunteer with Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids and together we made over 2,100 sandwiches to help support kids in Calgary who may otherwise go without lunch.

For more than 35 years, Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids has connected communities to meaningful action by helping ensure kids have access to nutritious lunches at school. Through volunteers, donors, schools, and community partners, they help feed thousands of children every school day because no child should have to learn on an empty stomach. (BB4CK)

Mornings like this are a reminder of how fortunate we are to be part of a community that doesn’t just talk about giving back, it shows up.

Grateful to spend the morning with a group committed to making a difference, one sandwich at a time 🥪💙

See you at the next event!

Mark your calendars! 🗓️

The Blue Goose Annual AGM is set for June 1, 2026. Join us as we come together to connect, reflect on the past year, and look ahead to what’s next.

Location details to follow, stay tuned. We look forward to seeing you there!

Thank you to everyone who came out for our Cinco de Mayo Order of the Slice golf event! ⛳️☀️

Clubs were dusted off, swings were tested, and the energy was high as we eased into the golf season with great company, lessons, and plenty of networking.

We’re looking forward to keeping the momentum going and seeing you all at our annual Tracey Irving Golf Tournament.

Thank you to our members Andrew Vieira and Dominique Mellafont for organizing a great event. And thank you Golf Fanatics for hosting us!
