Connecting to Calendars

ByIain Baker

The CSC events calendar is shown on the menu when you log in to the website. This guide reviews how to add this calendar to Outlook or Google Calendar and how to advertise your MS4’s events on our calendar. The calendar is only available to CSC members, this is not a public calendar.

Adding Events to the Calendar

The events calendar is for CSC education and outreach events, meetings and member events as well. All members can add events to this calendar. To add events to this calendar:

  • Create the event as a meeting in your calendar system (Outlook, Google Calendar etc.)
  • Add the events email (events@colorado-stormwater-council.org) as an invitee.
  • The event will be automatically added to the calendar.
  • Please be sure to include a full description of the event and how to sign up in the event description.

As changes are made in the meeting host’s calendar, they will automatically be updated on the event calendar as well.

Adding a Google Calendar to Outlook

Connecting the CSC Google Calendars to Microsoft Outlook enables you to view our calendars and events from Outlook. Adding the calendar will allow you to see all events without adding all of these events to your personal calendar. This can be helpful to keep you up to date and minimize the clutter. 

  1. Go to your Outlook Calendar
  2. Click on Add -> From Internet
  3. Enter the Calendar URL (see links below)

Refreshing Google Calendars in Outlook

If changes have just been made to the Google calendar, you may not see them reflected in Outlook immediately. To refresh any internet calendars in Outlook, click on the “Send/Receive” button in the toolbar.

Adding CSC Event Calendar to Google Calendar

To add the CSC event calendar to your Google Calendar, click on the following link: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/r?cid=ZXZlbnRzQGNvbG9yYWRvLXN0b3Jtd2F0ZXItY291bmNpbC5vcmc. This should bring you to Google Calendar and give you the option to add this calendar. It will then show in “My calendars” on the left sidebar.

To add specific events from the CSC calendar to your personal calendar:

  • Click on the event you’d like to add to your personal calendar.
  • Click the three dots on the event overview popup that displays.
  • Select “Copy to….” to copy the event to another calendar.
