Spinal Cord Injury Alberta

Spinal Cord Injury Alberta Look for our virtual Facebook Groups to learn more. Spinal Cord Injury Alberta, formerly (Canadian Paraplegic Association (Alberta)) was founded in 1961.

SCI Alberta is a charity, non-profit that offers free consultations, referrals and support to clients and their social networks to achieve independence and full community participation. About Us

Since 1945, the Canadian Paraplegic Association has been helping Canadians with spinal cord injuries and other physical disabilities. Started by a core group of WWII veterans in Ontario, the association has expanded to include offices in almost every province. Since then, it has been a leader in offering support, direct service, information and advocacy to Albertans with spinal cord injuries and other physical disabilities. Our Mission

To assist persons with spinal cord injuries and other physical disabilities to achieve independence, self-reliance and full community participation. Whether it be assisting a newly spinal cord injured child or adult, lobbying for better public transportation, or helping to create a more inclusive community, SCI Alberta embraces the approach that there is more than one way. Vision

Albertans with spinal cord injury and other physical disabilities will enjoy optimal physical, spiritual, economic and emotional well-being within fully accessible and welcoming communities free of physical, attitudinal and systemic barriers. This broad vision is shared in many respects with our partner organizations and agencies. Within this context, SCI Alberta strives to deliver the following visionary outcomes:

Albertans with SCI and their families will be aware of and have access to SCI Alberta services and supports

Clients and their families will adjust more successfully to the personal effects of injury and disability

Clients will achieve increased independence, self-reliance and community participation. Barriers to independence and inclusion will be reduced for people with SCI and other physical disabilities in Alberta communities

SCI Alberta will be a stable and sustainable organization.

December 3rd marks the International Day of Persons with Disabilities — a day to recognize, uplift, and celebrate the diverse experiences, voices, and achievements of people with disabilities. At Spinal Cord Injury Alberta, we are proud to stand alongside our community in advocating for a world that is inclusive, accessible, and equitable for all.

This year’s theme reminds us that real progress happens when everyone is included — in education, employment, public spaces, policy, and beyond. Disability is not a limitation; it's a part of human diversity that strengthens our society. Let's work together to break down barriers, challenge stigma, and ensure every person has the opportunity to thrive.
