The Epilepsy Association of Calgary

About the Epilepsy Association of Calgary

The Epilepsy Association was founded in 1955 by W.D. Taylor, and is Canada's oldest incorporated epilepsy organization. 2005 marked our 50th year of providing services in Calgary and the surrounding area. Volunteers have formed the heart and soul of our organization from its earliest days.

The Epilepsy Association of Calgary is a local, charitable, social services agency and is governed by a voluntary board of directors. Services are implemented by professional staff. We have an office in Red Deer, Alberta, which was opened in 2000 to address a lack of locally accessible services available to Central Albertans. The association is funded by:

• United Way of Calgary and Area
• United Way of Central Alberta
• Memberships
• Donations
• Project Grants
• Fund-Raising Activities - carried out by volunteers

Services are available to anyone with or concerned with epilepsy. There is no charge for services; however, donations are always greatly appreciated! There are numerous ways you can be involved in the Epilepsy Association of Calgary. Annual Memberships can be purchased for $20.00, Life Memberships are available for $200.00.
