Free for All Foundation’s vision is of communities where children who are at risk of losing their way to a productive adulthood can easily find and participate in programs designed to keep them on track.

We believe that every child, regardless of circumstances, has the right to the assistance of others in building a life that includes academic and social support to complete school, skill development for the dignity of being able to perform meaningful work, encouragement to reach for their dreams and the ability to earn the respect of others.

The John Howard Society of Alberta is a non-profit agency concerned with the problem of crime and its prevention. The organization takes its name and spirit from the 18th century humanitarian John Howard, whose name has become a symbol of humane consideration for prisoners. It was incorporated in 1949, and today the organization consists of six separately incorporated districts along with the Provincial Office. We believe that crime control is as much the responsibility of the community as it is of government. Through involvement with the John Howard Society, as members or volunteers, people in the community play an active role in the criminal justice process by providing programs for offenders and their families, ex-offenders, young persons and the public.

The principal endeavour of the Foundation is to build a Palliative Care Residence for the residents of Vaudreuil Soulanges and the surrounding areas. The cost of this project is estimated to be $3.5 million. This residence of 12 beds will offer services free of charge to people of all ages (children, adolescents and adults) who are in the final stages of a terminal illness. Four beds will be reserved to offer respite and emergency care. The patients in the Palliative Care Centre will be able to live the last days or weeks of their lives surrounded by their loved ones and in a quiet and peaceful environment while receiving quality professional care. Personalizing the care and ensuring that the human dimension is not lost will be a major goal for the personnel and the volunteers.
