Twenty years ago, our community came together to support the creation of a world-class simulation training program at the Alberta Children’s Hospital called KidSIM. And, for the past two decades, it has been saving lives and empowering families.

What began as a single mannequin has evolved into a nationally and internationally recognized program with 16 mannequins, more than 100 highly trained facilitators and 70,000 learners.

💛 Here’s to 20 years of lifesaving learning — and to the incredible community that made it possible.

Thanks to KidSIM, and what people like you made possible, she could experience the joys of childhood at home where she belonged.

Your generosity ensures kids today can receive the life-saving care they need and still enjoy childhoods they deserve. ❤️
