About CPA

The Canadian Paraplegic Association (Alberta) was founded in 1961. Since then, it has been a leader in offering support, direct service, information and advocacy to Albertans with spinal cord injuries and other physical disabilities.

The mission of CPA (Alberta) is to assist persons with spinal cord injuries and other physical disabilities to achieve independence, self-reliance and full community participation.

Whether it be assisting a newly spinal cord injured child or adult, lobbying for better public transportation, or helping to create a more inclusive community, CPA (Alberta) embraces the approach that there is more than one way.
