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!

Overview of the Alberta Proposal

The Government of Alberta was asked to, and later agreed to make a $12 million Alberta Contribution over five years - an investment in the wellbeing of persons living with SCI and to collaborative systemic improvement of SCI services and research in the province.


The Alberta Proposal had four components:
  • Solutions That Work - to create and implement solutions that respond to the priority needs of people with SCI and related disasbilities in Alberta
  • SCI Translational Research and Infrastructure - to leverage research excellence in Alberta by sharing resources and building national linkages to accelerate translation of new knowledge into best practices
  • Community Engagement and Support - to build understanding of and investment in the needs of persons with SCI in Alberta and the Canadian commitment to full citizenship for persons with disabilities
  • RHF Leadership - to apply RHF leadership, expertise and coordiation experience to Alberta Solutions and related processes.
The tables below provide elaboration and budget details for each of the four components.
