Going Forward Together
This website is all about the Alberta Spinal Cord Injury Initiative, started in 2007 with a 5-year, $12 million contribution from the Government of Alberta. It was started in honour of the 20th Anniversary of Rick Hansen's epic Man in Motion World Tour (1985-87) and is building a legacy of collaboration, innovation and dedication to pursuing solutions that make a real difference in the lives of Albertans with SCI and their families.

We're building a 'solutions movement' - join in and help decide what's next!

2009/2010 Plans and Priorities

Each year, The ADF prepares a business plan for those components of the Alberta SCI Initiative that it is responsible for.  The 2009/2010 Plan commits to the following:
  • two rounds of Solutions Fund grants, each allocating approximately $250,000 (awards in August 2009 and January 2010)
  • leveraging a $20,000 allocation from the Solutions Fund to an emergency response fund (for an aggregate of $50,000)
  • allocating up to 15% of the Solutions Fund for directed investments (ie driver education in Southern Alberta, search for best practice related to inclusive communities/universal design)
  • round 1 allocation of Active Living Grants, up to $200,000
  • work with SCISN/RHF, CPA and Wheelchair Sports to build synergy between the peer and Ambassador programs in Alberta
  • work with SCISN/RHF to rationalize and further coordinate development of RHWIM teams, local solutions teams, and the roles of CPA counselors, service coordinators and community developers
  • work with SCISN and stakeholders to further our understanding of the Solutions Model and to learn from experience with the model in other parts of Canada - establish a formal pilot in Edmonton
  • allocate $2.5 million in grants for support of Alberta SCI Translational Research and Infrastructure, and support for Alberta SCI researcher development
  • complete the 'front end' of the Alberta SCI Strategy - vision, principles, models/frameworks, strategies and priorities
  • develop and begin to implement a Communications Strategy or Plan
  • establish formalized working relationships with related solutions teams or alliances in other provinces and territories - including promotion of the concept of a National Advisory Council to the SCISN as proposed in various national strategic plans to date - comprised of the chairs of each provincial/territorial solutions team or alliance
  • finalize accountability strutures and systems - including a performance measurement framework and related monitoring processes and measurement tools
  • work with SCISN/RHF on the Collaborative Resource Development Strategy that has been referred to in various national planning documents.
