The Active Living Alliance for Canadians with a Disability (ALACD) is a National organization that was created in 1989 to motivate and assist Canadians with a disability to become more physically active. The ALACD promotes, supports, and enables Canadians to lead active, healthy lives through the support of nationally coordinated leadership, encouragement, promotion and information that facilitates a number of opportunities for Canadians of all abilities.

The ALACD – Saskatchewan encompasses a core network of individuals, agencies, communities, and organizations who are dedicated to following the mandate of the National body and work to facilitate opportunities for increased physical activity across Saskatchewan.

Physical activity is seen to benefit individuals in overall better health, improved quality of life, elevated self-esteem, prolonged independent living, and increased mobility. These benefits help in coping with everyday challenges for those with different abilities.

The ALACD Network desires to develop and promote effective programs and services, so that it can be used as a vessel to help expand the network to involve a variety of partners, key leaders, and stakeholders at the local and provincial levels.
