Join us for our 50th anniversary celebration and AGM. We hope you've enjoyed as we reflected and shared stories of how S.A.M. has served and continues to serve our community and those seeking a life of recovery.

Any guesses on how many residents we've helped over our 50 years of service???? Over 4300 and counting!!! We've met some amazing people over the 50 years and we are so thankful that they chose S.A.M. as part of their recovery journey!

J.D. is another S.A.M. alumni. Her sobriety date is, May 28, 2019. This is what she had to say about her time at S.A.M. "I have so many things I am grateful for and feel blessed that they were a huge part of my foundation in rebuilding myself. They gave me the guidance, counselling, coaching and tools for navigating life's struggles big or small. They gave me the opportunity to feel heard which led to a safe space to be honest and let go of the shame from my past." Congratulations J on your achievement, we are so proud of you!

Sam Dill was a member of our Board of Directors from 2004-2010. She decided to join because she believed in our Philosophy of Treatment that was the foundation of recovery. She shared that it felt respectful, supportive and encouraging. EVERYONE at S.A.M was part of the client's journey. She shared a memory of an interaction between Shirley the cook and a new resident, and memories of Sam the dog (yes, S.A.M. had a house dog named Sam). She shared a memory of an outing to Waterton Lakes National Park, "I watched while several of the clients sat quietly by the water, and others spent time playing like kids for the 1st time~ skipping rocks, sitting and talking or simply being quiet in such a beautiful place. It brought tears to my eyes watching this very meaningful time..It was amazing as well as ingenuous organizing such an experience ~even our spouses were welcome." Thank you Sam for being a part of our organization, and sharing your memories with us!

From 1975- 1997 Southern Alcare Society and Industries offered a Seniors Handyman Service. This was a great way for the residents to give back to the community.
