About Us

It Starts with One Can. To Feed the Hungry.
To Lift the Spirit. To Change the World.

Canstruction® Calgary is an amazing competition using canned food and other non-perishable items as building blocks. The event brings together multi-disciplinary teams of engineers, designers, architects and builders to create extraordinary structures, which are judged, exhibited to the public and then de-canstructed, with all food going to the Calgary Inter-Faith Food Bank.

Since 2006, Canstruction® Calgary has provided over 250,000 pounds of food to needy Calgarians.

Canstruction® Calgary is the local chapter of Canstruction, a global anti-hunger project, founded by the Society for Design Administration, an affiliate organization of the American Insitute of Architects. Founded more than 10 years ago, the event is now held in more than 50 cities across North America.
