Calgary

In 2005 we expanded our operations to include services to the residents of Calgary. Individuals come to Excel to live in one of our residences or to enjoy our community-based day program where our team provides person-centered support to these individuals during any given activity. These supports are provided not only to our clients, but also to those who live independently, with their family, or with other support agencies.
