Are you looking ahead to 2026 with big goals and new possibilities? ✨

For many Albertans with disabilities, everyday dreams like finding meaningful work, expressing creativity, or trying something new in their community can feel out of reach because of ongoing barriers.

Because of your support, participants can:
✔️ Build confidence and skills for meaningful employment
✔️ Express their creativity, earn income, and share their talents
✔️ Grow independence and feel a true sense of belonging in their community

We’re just $15,000 away from reaching our $100,000 goal by the end of 2025! Every gift supports vital art programs, employment workshops, and community activities like cooking, swimming, and social connection.

⏰ There’s still time! Donate before December 31 at 11:59 PM to receive a 2025 tax receipt. Donate now by going to chrysalis.ca/donate

Your gift today helps create hope, belonging, and a lifetime of possibilities. 💙

🎄🏗️ Teamwork, creativity, and giving back!

During the staff holiday celebrations, teams took on a fun structure-building challenge with a meaningful twist. Staff were asked to bring in non-perishable food items for the Veterans Association Food Bank of Edmonton , then split into four teams to build their own towers using the donated items.

Each team put their creativity and collaboration to the test, resulting in some impressive (and competitive!) towers — all while supporting an important cause. Take a look at the towers below and vote in the comments for your favourite! 💙✨

🏠🎄 Sweet creations and holiday teamwork!

Program participants got into the holiday spirit during the gingerbread building competition, splitting into groups to design and build some truly amazing houses. With plenty of creativity, collaboration, and a little frosting magic, each group brought their own festive vision to life.

The activity encouraged teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity — and the results were as impressive as they were delicious. Such a fun way to celebrate the season and enjoy time together! 💙✨

🎳 Strikes, Smiles, & Community Connection!

Our daytime programs in both Edmonton and Calgary include opportunities to enjoy the community, learn new skills, and build confidence. The recent bowling day in Calgary was a perfect example, filled with laughter, teamwork, and moments of personal achievement!

Being able to share activities like this encourages social interaction and strengthens physical skills. It also creates space for friendships to grow while exploring the community in fun and engaging ways, and celebrates visibility and inclusion for people with disabilities.

From cheering on friends and applauding every pin knocked down, the Calgary bowling day was a wonderful reminder of the joy and growth that comes from being active in the community. 💙✨

🎉✨ Holiday cheer, fun, and celebration all around!

Chrysalis program participants had a holiday party full of smiles, laughter, and festive fun. Everyone enjoyed getting dressed up, playing games with peers, and receiving some well-deserved pampering — from glitter tattoos and makeup to having their hair done and feeling extra special.

The celebration wrapped up with a lively dance party, complete with a mocktail bar and sweet treats to enjoy while dancing the day away. It was a wonderful chance to connect, celebrate, and soak in the holiday spirit together. 💙✨

Holiday magic came to life at Chrysalis!

Program participants lit up the season with their incredible work in the Holiday Float Creation Program! From crafting colourful decorations to building festive displays, they poured creativity and energy into every detail — and the results were absolutely amazing.

But the fun didn’t stop there! Participants dressed up in holiday costumes and proudly paraded their completed floats around the building, spreading joy, laughter, and pure festive spirit to everyone they passed.

This program gives participants a chance to shine by building confidence, practicing teamwork, strengthening motor skills, and expressing their creativity in a big, meaningful way. Watching them celebrate their hard work was truly unforgettable. 💙✨
