CMCS - Building Peaceful Communities for the past 30 years

Living in a community can be challenging. Because everyone experiences and perceives situations differently, we sometimes need a little help seeing things from a new perspective.

Community Mediation Calgary Society (CMCS) is a registered charitable not-for-profit organization with trained volunteer mediators who provide a safe space for open and effective conversation. We follow an interest-based problem solving approach to mediation—defining problems, uncovering what is important to the participants, and reaching a resolution. The end goal is to develop understanding and empathy between participants, so they can reach a mutually agreeable resolution.
