SUMMARY:Passion Isn’t a Budget Line: Calgary’s History of Volunteerism – Hot Dogs & Hot Takes on History
DESCRIPTION:What actually built Calgary? Oil and gas gets most of the credit\, but this city runs on bake sales\, bingo shifts\, casino fundraisers\, volunteer boards\, coaching duties\, and people saying “yes” one too many times.  \nAt this edition of Hot Dogs & Hot Takes on History\, Josh Traptow takes a look at Calgary’s long history of volunteerism and why the model that helped build the city may be starting to crack under its own weight.  \nCalgary spent decades relying on passionate people to step up and fill the gaps — and for a long time\, they did. But what happens when the same people are doing more with less support\, less time\, and less capacity to keep going?  \nPart history lesson\, part civic reality check\, this conversation explores how volunteerism became one of Calgary’s defining characteristics and whether we’ve started treating community spirit as an unlimited resource.  \nBurnout isn’t just a nonprofit issue anymore. It’s becoming a city issue.  \nCome for the hot dogs\, stay for the realization that half of Calgary is being held together by committee meetings and someone’s very overworked calendar.
