History

Established by a group of motivated parents in 2001, the Association for German Education in Calgary (AGEC) promotes the German language and culture of German speaking countries in Calgary and offers project funding.

This group was also driving force behind the implementation of the first and only German Bilingual Program in Calgary in 2002, based at Bowcroft Elementary School.

AGEC received charitable status in 2004 (#861260461RR0001) and can issue tax receipts for your donation.
