needs of families with disabled children and adults. The aim is to support
families in three broad areas: 1. The first is the establishment of a secure
future in very practical ways, such as finances (trusts, estates and will
planning etc.) and housing and home ownership. 2. To promotion and development
of enduring circles of support, the facilitation of meaningful relationships –
people who look out for the interests of the person in the way a family might.
3. To develop long term partnerships with foundations and companies in the
Calgary area to build a sustainable future for our members.
