Central Alberta Brain Injury Societys 30th Anniversary
CABIS is celebrating 30 years of dedicated support and advocacy within Central Alberta.
Established as a non-profit organization on June 4th, 1994, CABIS emerged from the heartfelt initiative of concerned parents who convened in 1991. Their collective vision birthed a vital support network for survivors of brain injuries, caregivers, and families alike. Since its inception, CABIS has been sustained by the generosity of our community through donations and proceeds from bingo/casino events.
Weekly gatherings offer a spectrum of engaging activities and invaluable caregiver support, including the enlightening Travelling Brain School. As we mark Brain Injury Awareness Month this June, CABIS is proud to join forces with the Alberta Red Deer Royal Purple for the annual Brain Walk Picnic on June 20th, from 12 to 3pm at Rotary Park. This event not only fosters awareness but also prevention of brain injury and serves as a platform for fundraising, ensuring our ongoing presence and assistance within Central Alberta.

A Thought...
Are You Aware That....
TBI occurs at an annual rate of 500 out of 100,000 individuals. That is approximately 165,000 in Canada. This equals 456 people every day, or one person injured every 3 minutes in Canada?
