Between Friends has been offering social and recreational programs in Calgary and the surrounding area for over 40 years.  Through our programs and services, we endeavor to benefit all people and increase the community’s awareness, positive attitudes, and sensitivity towards their fellow citizens with disabilities.

Between Friends is a charitable organization that creates opportunities for people with disabilities to connect, grow, and belong through social and recreational activities.

Many people with disabilities seek social and recreational activities that are fundamental to enriching self-esteem, quality of life, and mental and physical health. Between Friends facilitates programs with these goals in mind while promoting a focus on shared interests over individual differences.
 
Between Friends offers children, youth and adults a variety of programs during the leisure hours.

Between Friends was originally established in 1970 as the, Pink Pelican Club, by a group of parents seeking social, recreational, and community based activities for their teenagers with disabilities. The Pink Pelican Club rapidly expanded as members were empowered to actively participate in the community through the provided social and recreational programs.
 
In 1982, the organization obtained registered charitable status and a new name.

Between Friends.
