Living Every Season Program
Sunny days. Rainy days. We’ll be there.
A support program for Albertans with life-limiting illness.
The Living Every Season program provides safe, confidential support in a social setting designed for adults who are living with a life-limiting illness.
The regular, interactive sessions of the Living Every Season program create an empathetic community for participants to connect with others, learn from speakers and continue to live a good life while also living with a terminal diagnosis.
A life-limiting diagnosis can bring feelings of fear and isolation. The Living Every Season program is here to help.
