History of the Calgary Reggio Network Association

The Calgary Reggio Network Association grew out of the Reggio Revisited Exhibition held by local teachers inspired by the Hundred Languages of Children Exhibit from Reggio Emilia, Italy.  This exhibit was hosted in Calgary in 1997.  At that time, an informal network of approximately 30 teachers was formed to engage in opportunities for dialogue and mutual support as they explored the Reggio philosophy.  The network continued to grow and began offering professional development opportunities through network meetings and collaborating with other organizations to host summer institutes.  When the Hundred Languages of Children Exhibit returned in 2006, it generated great interest within the Calgary community and across Western Canada.  In 2007, the Calgary Reggio Network Association (CRNA) formalized its status as a non-profit society. The CRNA currently boasts a diverse membership of over 900 which includes educators, parents, child care providers, artists, social workers and other professionals.
