As a catalyst for community awareness, dialogue and action - The Calgary Foundation established the Vital Signs initiative. One facet of the initiative is the Vital Signs Report Card which measures the vitality of our city, identifies significant trends and assigns grades in areas critical to quality of life in Calgary.
