On June 1, 2000, we opened an office in Red Deer, thanks to the support of the United Way of Central Alberta. This office serves the residents of Central Alberta. Thanks to their on-going support as well as the support of the Central Alberta community, we began our fifth year of programming for people in Central Alberta who are affected by epilepsy in June 2005. |
If you live in Red Deer or the Central Alberta area, please feel free to call or email our Program Coordinator, Krista, with your questions.

Central Alberta Volunteers Wanted
We are recruiting enthusiastic volunteers for activities in Central Alberta in the hopes of developing and expanding volunteer involvement. Opportunities will include information displays, coin can placement, special events, Epilepsy Month activities - and possibly others. We're also always looking for stories to enhance our work - maybe you have one that will inspire others.
For information or an application, contact:
Melanie: epilepsy.mburnell@telus.net or Krista: epilepsy.kanderson@telus.net
Teen Program for Central Alberta Teens Living with Epilepsy
A small group of young people affected by epilepsy began meeting last fall. If you are a young person living with epilepsy, and would like to learn more about the opportunity to meet others who share your concerns - the group would love to meet you. There are no meeting dates scheduled at this time, however, if you are interested, we will let you know when and where the next gathering is held. This group is interested not only in meeting and supporting one another, but in looking for ways they can contribute to creating understanding about epilepsy.
For more information contact Krista at 358-3358, 1-866-EPILEPSY, or e-mail.
