PROGRAMS > BUSINESS ACCREDITATION

Business accreditation

Is a business child and family friendly just because they say they are? Proud to be CYFC's first official program, the Business Accreditation Program gives businesses who want to earn a "seal of approval" the opportunity to be inspected and reviewed by a team of children, youth and parents.

The first of its kind in North America, the Business Accreditation Program allows Calgary and area businesses an opportunity to be deemed a child and family friendly destination. Thousands of families from Calgary and across North America utilize our accreditation guide to select a variety of services in our city. Businesses are reviewed by our panel of "kid critics", to ensure each business is an appropriate and safe place for children, youth and families.

Being an accredited business offers group marketing programs such as our annual business guide. As well, each member receives a promotional kit to advertise their accreditation on site.
