In 2025, ARBI embraced change while strengthening our long-term impact. Here are a few highlights:

• A Vision for Sustainability:In early 2024, our Board launched a new strategic plan focused on sustaining hope and building resilience—for those we serve and for ARBI itself. This roadmap, guiding us through to ARBI’s 50th anniversary in 2028, reinforces our strengths as the foundation of a sustainable future.
• Supporting Lifelong Recovery:To align with funder priorities, we’ve adapted some programs to better support community engagement and independent living. This change has resulted in a shift to a cost-recovery approach for ARBI’s recreation programs supported through services fees, donations and sponsorships. With the continued generosity of our donors, ARBI remains committed to accessible services that promote lifelong recovery and family stability after brain injury.
• Creating Community:Our Wellness Team coordinated a retreat for survivors and families at William Watson Lodge, reinforcing our commitment to mental health. We’re also pleased to share the news of renewed funding, $264K over two years, from the City of Calgary, Family and Community Support Services, ensuring ARBI’s continued support to individuals and families affected by brain injury.

Thank you for helping make ARBI a lasting source of hope and healing!
