Living Room

The Living Room is a cozy space where families can come together to snuggle up on the sofa for some reading or TV time just as they would in their own homes. Here, parents have a clear line of sight into the Studio, Fitness Centre, and South Playroom, allowing them to keep a comfortable eye on their little ones while enjoying some much-deserved downtime of their own when needed. This space is named in recognition of ARC Resources.

Den

Families visit the Den when they want to get closer. This intimate space is where they can gather in comfort and privacy to reflect on the events of the day, catch up on hugs, or spend time together. Unlike the common areas, the Den is intended for the more personal moments of a family’s day at the Ronald McDonald House®. This space is named in recognition of the Rose Family.

Studio

Designed to be flexible, the Studio is an inviting space for activities, programs, and meetings. Here, children can work on homework alongside new furry friends during our pet therapy sessions. It’s also where we host collaborative programs such as craft, movie, and bingo nights. In an effort to make the Ronald McDonald House welcoming for all families, the Studio has been designed with the appropriate air circulation to accommodate smudging ceremonies. This space is named in recognition of the CREB® REALTOR® Community Foundation.

Family Services Lounge

With warmth and compassion, the Family Services Lounge has been designed to make families feel at home the moment they walk through our doors. Here, they can connect with our dedicated team members, who are always ready to provide the information, advice, and support they need to make their stay as comfortable and convenient as possible. The Quilt Cupboard resides within this space to show families the community is thinking of them. This space is named in recognition of Glen & Erin Rumpel." Add Image of Family Service Lounge

Rec Room

The Rec Room has been designed to entertain families with pre-teens and teens. Here, the whole gang can cheer on their favourite sports teams, continue their at-home gaming traditions, or get to know players from the Calgary Flames when they come to visit. Amid the uncertainty of their situations, the Rec Room is where families can continue to create cherished memories and enjoy the simple pleasures that make a family feel whole. This space is named in recognition of Neil and Brandon Maitland.

South Kitchen

After providing a place to stay, feeding families is the most important and rewarding thing we do. We save families time and money, and allow them to focus on being there for their children. The South Kitchen is fully equipped to meet every family’s needs, featuring a walk-in fridge and freezer, a soup kettle, and a serving station with hot chafing dishes, ensuring all nutritional needs are met. This space hosts our volunteer bakers and Home for Dinner groups, while the North Kitchen is where families can cook their own favourite dishes, bringing a taste of home to their stay. This space is named in recognition of The McCain Foundation.

South Playroom

The power of play has a tremendous impact on the spirits of children, especially during times of uncertainty. Our two playrooms are where friendships are formed, laughter is shared, and imaginations are explored. At the end of the day, kids need to be kids, no matter their circumstances. Providing them with a healthy and entertaining distraction from the stresses of their family’s medical realities is not only rewarding but therapeutic. This space is named in recognition of Ovintiv.

Outdoor Amenities

We know families value the outdoors, which is why it is our privilege to offer access to Rotary Flames Park. This Outdoor Amenities area provides families with the fully accessible Rotary Playground, Lui Family Foundation Amphitheatre, and Mitch Molloy Gazebo, as well as a basketball court, picnic table area, and deck with casual seating for dining, relaxing, and visiting. The area is named in recognition of the Rotary Club of Calgary at Stampede Park, the Rotary Club of Calgary Downtown, and the Calgary Flames Foundation.
