In January 2005, the City of Calgary officially launched of the ImagineCalgary engagement process for Calgary youth. Praxis executed two major youth drop-in events at leisure centres in Calgary.  Collectively, over 400 youth, between the ages of 12 and 18 years, attended these events.

Working with One World Theatrical Company, a group involved in many Calgary-based youth issues, the youth identified current issues of concern and their visions for the Calgary in 100 years. In addition, the youth visioning process engaged all the students of Alex Ferguson Elementary School from ECS to Grade Six, which consisted over 250 students.  A final wrap-up session brought all the students together to share their findings with other students, teachers and community members.
