WHO WE ARE:
Calgary Learns is a granting agency that supports foundational learning for adult Calgarians.
Initiative grants address new and emerging adult foundational learning needs in Calgary. This funding supports community-focused non-profit organizations to research and develop learning resources, and to pilot innovative foundational learning opportunities for adult Calgarians with financial barriers.
CanLearn fulfills its vision of unlocking potential so all can learn through programs and services for individuals with literacy challenges, learning disabilities and AD/HD. CanLearn is a multidisciplinary organization and built upon the shared understanding that some barriers to learning such as ADHD or dyslexia have a biological base, while others stem from environmental factors such as poverty and adverse life experiences. Founded in 1979, the organization is approaching its 40-year anniversary.
