About Us


Since 1951, CP Kids & Families has been sharing knowledge and hope to families 

living with physical disabilities, including cerebral palsy, living in the Calgary area. 

We offer a range of programs and events that create a positive and consistent support

system for families, and we provide opportunities for kids to experience the simple joys

of being a kid. 


As a community-based agency, we aim to be a safe haven for anyone living with 

cerebral palsy to reach out for support. Whether you have questions about funding,

need an adapted bike for your child, or are just looking to chat about your situation, 

we are here to help.
