The Alberta Caregivers Association [ACGA] was founded in 2001. It is an association "Driven by Caregivers for Caregivers" that addresses the special needs of family caregivers. We partner with other organizations that address caregiver issues. We promote education, mutual support, and advocacy programs specifically designed to serve the needs of family caregivers.

To receive monthly updates on upcoming events and programs, please sign up for our eNews monthly newsletter. It contains valuable articles that can help family caregivers reduce some of their stresses, as well as a listing of events and programs planned by the ACGA and its community partners. Please sign up today!

Events and Programs Calendar

Caregiver Network: Meets every 4th Wednesday morning at 10:00 at Alberta Caregiver Association offices, 14220 - 109 Avenue. Come and join with others in discussing issues and circumstances of the caregiving journey and leave with some positive thoughts and understanding. Some meetings feature a speaker, others an informative video, but always time for sharing and asking questions.

Can't get out to meetings? Join our e-group, receive information and encouragement, and dialogue with others.

Fourth Annual Silent Auction and Fashion Show: Plan now to join us in September 20th, 2007, at 11:00 am in the Santa Maria Goretti Community Centre at 11050 - 90 Street for fun and fashion as we host one of our most popular fundraising events. Tabi International will show a dazzling array of new clothing for the fall and winter season. Lots of interesting items up for auction as well. If you can donate an item you will be helping the Alberta Caregivers Association with its so-necessary work in the community.
