Help Strengthen the GPA – Volunteer for Our Fundraiser!
We’re excited to announce an upcoming fundraiser to support the GPA’s General Fund, which helps fund important initiatives that aren’t covered by Casino funds.
If you’d like to get involved, we’d love your help! Please contact Jagdeep, our Fundraising Coordinator, at info@gatecalgary.ca.
When families from all four schools come together to volunteer, it makes a huge difference in the success of our efforts. Your support truly helps us make a bigger impact!
GATE by the Numbers
GATE is thriving across the CBE with 451 students in four schools this year!
North: 256 students at Hillhurst (Grades 4–6) and Queen Elizabeth High (Grades 7–12). Enrollment has remained strong since 2022/23.
South: 195 students at Louis Riel (Grades 4–9) and Henry Wise Wood (Grades 9–11), continuing a dynamic and enthusiastic GATE community.
Thank you to all the families who support and champion GATE—our community is stronger and more vibrant because of you!
