A write up of Death Cafe Calgary Nov 16, 2014
Death Café Calgary on November 16, 2014 was held at yet another venue. The Commons was a beautiful location, but a bit challenging to find. 27 attendees were not dissuaded! Almost half of these brave souls were in attendance for the first time. Another fabulous thing about this café was the diverse demographic with a good mix of men and women and ages spanning from early 30s to late 90s. A gentle reminder that death touches everyone and everyone has a story to share.
The setup of the room allowed for a mix of large, open-group conversations as well as smaller, private discussions. The private booths also permitted some attendees to stay off-camera while a journalism student from Mount Royal University filmed footage for her school paper. As hosts, we feel fortunate to live in a community eager to discuss death together respecting the many viewpoints and perspectives that a diverse city presents.
