Plan Calgary

They say it takes a village to raise a child, but it takes a *network* to build a future! 🌟

When we talk about the future for our loved ones with disabilities, the best foundation isn’t just money or logistics—it’s people. By creating a personal network, we are surrounding our loved ones with friends, mentors, and community members who truly know, value, and care for them.

Why are networks so powerful?

✨ They provide natural safety nets.
✨ They foster genuine friendships and social belonging.
✨ They ensure that our loved ones are seen for their unique gifts, not just their needs.

When we build a network, we aren’t just planning for a future; we’re building a life full of connection.

"Who will look out for my loved one when I’m no longer able?"

This is the question that keeps many caregivers up at night, fueling stress and burnout. At PLAN Calgary, the focus is on creating a secure, supported future through personalized planning and community building.

By addressing the "what ifs," PLAN Calgary helps reduce the anxiety of the unknown, providing caregivers with the peace of mind they deserve.

News for Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) recipients! 📣

The federal government is introducing important updates to the CDB, effective on September 1, 2026. 🗓️

One change directly addresses the cost for a medical practitioner to complete the Disability Tax Credit Certificate. Recipients of the CDB will be paid an automatic, one-time lump sum of $150 to help cover medical practitioner fees for the DTC. 🌱

Other updates will affect application timelines for people aged 17, spousal tax waivers, the interest on amounts owed during an appeal process, and a new definition of adjusted income.
