Edmonton Women’s Shelter Ltd., known as WIN House, is a non-profit agency operating three shelters, for women fleeing domestic violence.

The shelters operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. WIN House offers: • a 24 hour support and information line • Crisis intervention, education and safety planning • emergency shelter • pet care program • weekly support groups • referrals to community agencies • regular visits by the Victorian Order of Nurses • support with Employment & Immigration • child support program • school maintenance program • outreach program • household packages for women leaving shelter

Over 45,000 children were reported missing in Canada in 2011. That’s one child every 11 minutes. When a child first goes missing, the police, the media and the community all rally together to help the terrified and anxious family search for their child, but as time goes by, that involvement inevitably decreases. It is for these families that the Missing Children Society of Canada (MCSC) was established in 1986. Our unique and comprehensive programs serve families in the critical hours after a child goes missing and provide ongoing support until the child is found, investigative programs that assist police and searching families, mental health programs that help families deal with the emotional consequences of a missing child, and critical awareness generating campaigns that allow us to provide essential support for searching families. We are 100% funded by donations. And we provide our services at no cost to families.

By 2031 that number will increase by nearly 127%. That means that we will be caring for over 175,000 cases in 2010 and by 2031 there will be over 340,000 cases in the province. Our goal is to help persons with Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias, their families and caregivers today, while engaging in research to put an end to this devastating disease. With your support we fund nationwide research to address the psychological and social aspects of AD such as care giving, family support and long-term care as well as biomedical investigations to find causes and treatments.
