Winter 2021 Programs During COVID-19

Due to the continued provincial restrictions, in-person programs will not go ahead as planned for the month of January. We know the pandemic has been stressful to many and recognize the importance of social connection as a healthy way to cope with stress. We remain hopeful that we will be able to safely offer in-person programs in February, pending any further restrictions by the provincial government. Program start dates for our Winter 2021 session will be adjusted to start in February. These dates will be reflected on each Program page. Any programs currently offered over Zoom will continue with their original January start dates.

A small number of programs will transition over to Zoom. For these programs, you will be contacted individually by the Program Facilitator. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to adapt to health guidelines to protect the health of our participants, staff, and community.

If you need any additional resources during this time, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 780-413-4521. In the meantime, we have already created some online programs, services and support options. Which can be found on each program page, the At-Home Family Fun page, and on our YouTube channel.

Please note, some of our younger Child & Youth programs go up to 13 years old. We see this as a leadership opportunity for 13-year-olds before moving into older youth programs. Check here for additional programs that may be applicable to your family.

NEW! – Skills to Pay the Bills

Once you’ve finished your time in school, and you are becoming more and more independent, you might think life would become easier; you get to make your own choices, do what you want, see who you want, eat what you want, etc…However, going from dependent and limited to independent and free (with the power to make your own choices) is not always an easy transition. “With great [freedom] and power comes great responsibility” (widely used quote dating back to 1793, and of course from Stan Lee’s Spiderman). In this program, we will teach you about the world of “adulting” when it comes to grocery shopping, meal planning, self-care, job applications and interviews, roommate etiquette and more.

Stretch yourself literally with a combination of physical activities, puzzles, mysteries and other brain exercises, along with mindfulness activities to help you learn to be calmer and reduce stress as it arises. These weeks will help you develop your mind-body connection to increase health, decrease stress and have fun doing it.

Please note, the January 19 to February 9 option for this program has been cancelled due to continued government restrictions.

Zoom Room

14–18 years | Do you miss getting together with your friends? Do you just want a place to hang out, chat, play silly games and get to know new people? Search no more because we have the program for you! We are hosting a Zoom “Chat Room” which will allow you to do just that! We will have games planned for each night such as Jackbox TV games like Quiplash and Fakin’ It as well as old school games like Pictionary, charades and hangman. We will allow time for discussion around topics such as current events, school, and mental health. Please be aware that this is NOT a group therapy session, but more so a safe place to bond with like-minded folks. It’s bound to be a good time and a place to ask questions, meet new friends, and let loose after the stress of the day.
