Dr. Barrie Strafford Centre for Learning, Innovation, and Quality

The Dr. Barrie Strafford Centre for Learning, Innovation, and Quality (CLIQ), is an innovation hub within the Brenda Strafford Foundation, based in Calgary and dedicated to advancing bold ideas into real-world impact across health, aging, and community systems.

We work with partners across sectors to co-create, test, and scale innovative solutions that improve wellbeing, strengthen communities, and shape the future of care and work. Through research, collaboration, and applied innovation, we help organizations turn complex challenges into actionable, measurable outcomes.

Our approach brings together diverse perspectives from industry leaders to community organizations to accelerate learning, drive meaningful change, and build systems that are more responsive, inclusive, and sustainable.
