The Canadian Progress Club – St. Albert supports many worthy charities, from our homegrown Uncles & Aunts at Large to the multinational Special Olympics. We volunteer our time and raise funds to improve the human condition in our communities.
In 1980, the Camp Warwa Society was founded with the generous donation of our land by the Warwa Family and the organization of representatives from the Alberta North Zone Canadian Progress Clubs. For over 35 years the staff of Camp Warwa have been “Making A Difference” in the lives of children and youth from all over Alberta. We invite you to be part of this continued tradition and enjoy another memorable Camp Warwa experience.
Providing emergency nutritional support to St. Albert since 1984, the St. Albert Food Bank depends considerably on community support. Monetary and food donations are always welcomed and appreciated. They partner with more than 20 other St. Albert organizations to offer programs. Their registered community liaison social workers coordinate client access to the appropriate community-based social agencies.
