ABOUT PRAXIS

A shared standard,
put into practice.

The Praxis Society was founded in Calgary in 2026 on the belief that principles should be reflected in conduct.

Members are expected to pursue worthwhile goals, support one another, serve their communities, and remain accountable for their conduct.

“Unity does not require uniformity.”

The standard determines membership—not gender, profession, wealth, status, background, or social connections.

THE SIX PILLARS

What the crest
comes to represent.

The Six Pillars define the standards members are expected to uphold in their conduct.

01

Character

Integrity made visible through repeated choices.

02

Fellowship

Mutual support joined with honest accountability.

03

Achievement

The pursuit of worthwhile goals and the development of ability.

04

Service

Contributing time, skill, leadership, or resources beyond ourselves.

05

Discipline

Making actions consistent with commitments.

06

Growth

Remaining a learner and continuing to develop.

MEMBERSHIP PROCESS

Membership is based
on conduct, not status.
