The 2024 City Nature Challenge is a wrap, and the results are in! This marked Calgary’s sixth year of participation, and we couldn't be prouder of our community. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all participants, spectators, and partner organizations for your unwavering support!

​

The year 2024 was another epic chapter, during which we collectively put Calgary's biodiversity on the map. We want to extend our congratulations to La Paz for their outstanding performance across all categories. Your dedication to nurturing a robust network of conservationists and community scientists is truly inspiring. We also saw some incredible performances in Canada and it’s nice to have some national competition that pushes us harder each year. Congratulations to Montreal and Vancouver for their successes this year! We have the Canadian results all shared below.

​

We also want to acknowledge the global CNC organizer team from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles and the California Academy of Sciences. The team is composed of superheroes and throughout the year provide guidance, resources, and stoke for the challenge. This was the 9th annual global CNC and they continue to do out-do themselves each year, propelling the event into a worldwide phenomenon with 690 cities participating and 2.4 million observations made over the four days. The global team has put together a fantastic summary which you’ll find below.
