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!

Alberta SCI Action Strategy Task Teams

Things are moving along with the Alberta SCI Action Strategy, and we are now in the process of forming Task Teams that will investigate and recommend actions to be taken in their area of interest:  Housing, Adaptive Equipment, and Home Care/Attendant Care.  The task teams will be made up of Alberta-based stakeholders from the field of SCI research, policy, and service delivery.  Consumers (ie. people with SCI or another related physical disability) will make up 1/3 of each of the Task Teams.  We're looking to have teams oriented to their jobs in early April.  Each team will have an assigned facilitator to support their work.  See opposite for a profile of our facilitators ...
By June, the Task Teams will have researched, selected, and outlined three or four ideas that, if implemented, would result in a marked improvement in the quality of life of Albertans with SCI.  Their recommendations will go to the Alberta SCI Solutions Alliance for consideration and advice on implementation.  We're on a roll, so subscribe to our blog now to keep up with the action!
