We are a unique Community Access program for adults with developmental disabilities (referred to as Participants) through Alberta Human Services-Disability Services (PDD).

Our program is delivered in Calgary and Medicine Hat. We owe a large part of our continued success to our community partners. Our ability to access dependable host sites lets participants experience meaningful, ongoing work opportunities in our community all year round. We are a registered nonprofit society with charitable status. Six full time and three part time staff make up our team that is supported by a volunteer Board of Directors.
