The Calgary Cerebral Palsy Association (also the “CCPA”) is a Calgary based non-profit organization and registered charity dedicated to our mission: A family-focused agency that provides programs, information, support and resources to families and their children affected by cerebral palsy in the Calgary area through effective communication and community partnerships.

Our motto “Light up a child’s life” reflects the majority of our membership base.  In addition to families of children with cerebral palsy, our membership also includes adult individuals with cerebral palsy and interested organizations.  In response to the largest community needs, the CCPA tailored many of its services and programs to assist children and fill a void left by other community sources.

The Calgary Cerebral Palsy Association was formed on June 13, 1951 by a group of parents, each of whom was dealing with a similar yet somewhat varied undiagnosed disability of their children.  Once Canadian doctors recognized cerebral palsy as a unique medical condition, the CCPA started a treatment and support program specifically for families affected by cerebral palsy.   A “CP Clinic” was opened in 1956 and was in operation until 1972 when it moved into the Alberta Children's Hospital and became part of the Gordon Townsend School.

Our member base has increased to over 500 members in 2010 and continues to expand with Calgary’s rapid growth. Current services provided by the CCPA are supported by a volunteer board of directors, two part-time employees (a parent support worker and an accounting assistant) and our member volunteers.
