Google Calendar isn't sending you reminders
Check that reminders are actually set on each event and that notification settings are enabled. Google Calendar reminders can be disabled at the browser or device level, so check your notification permissions.
Google Calendar offers reminders by email or browser notification. If you're not getting them, either the event doesn't have a reminder set, notifications are disabled in your browser, or Gmail is filtering them.
