The Alberta Active Living Strategy was created with the input of 25 Alberta disability organizations with an interest in active living for persons with disabilities. $500,000 from the initial $12 million Alberta government commitment has been protected for Active Living Initiatives. The purpose or intention of the Strategy is to provide Active Living leadership from the disability community plus overall guidance on vision, needs and priorities for allocation of this half million dollar fund.
The Active Living Executive Task Team (ALETT) was established to provide recommendations each year to the Alberta SCI Solutions Alliance on priorities, best ways/means to facilitate Active Living lifestyles for individuals with Spinal Cord Injury and other related physical disabilities.
The Active Living Alliance Strategy report was completed in March 2008 and is available by contacting CPA AB at 780-424-6312.
