URSA (Universal Rehabilitation Service Agency) is a Calgary based, non-profit charitable agency, established in 1985.

URSA’s objective is to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities in community settings. “Universal” refers to our willingness to develop and provide any needed rehabilitation services that are not currently being provided and that are seen to be necessary for individuals to be successfully integrated into society. This term also identifies URSA’s commitment to sharing knowledge and expertise with other national and international service agencies.

No big announcement. No audience.

Just music.

A familiar tune turned into smiles. Smiles turned into laughter. And for a few minutes, the room felt lighter.

That’s the thing about moments like this.

They may seem small from the outside—but inside URSA Airdrie, they become connection.

A chance to express joy. To try something new. To feel comfortable enough to simply be yourself.

Because meaningful support isn’t always about schedules and structure.

Sometimes, it sounds like music.

For families in Airdrie and Calgary exploring programs for Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD), URSA is a place where growth feels human, friendships feel real, and every day holds something meaningful.

Last week, communities across Alberta recognized Disability Support Professionals Appreciation Week, and the incredible people behind this work.

Disability support professionals are advocates, mentors, and trusted supports, walking alongside individuals and families, creating connection, and helping people live full and meaningful lives.

Across agencies like URSA, Foothills Advocacy In Motion Society - FAIM, Vecova, and so many others, this work is rooted in care, collaboration, and a shared commitment to inclusive communities.

With recognition across the province last week, including proclamations from the City of Calgary – Your Local Government, The City of Airdrie and Rocky View County, it’s clear that this work matters far beyond individual organizations.

To everyone in this field: thank you for the care, dedication, and humanity you bring every day. We’re proud to be alongside you.

Sometimes the most meaningful moments aren’t inside a building at all 🌿💙

📍 Now welcoming new participants:
https://ursa-rehab.com/airdrie-day-program

They happen outside. In fresh air. On walking paths. Side by side.

- A shared hike. A conversation between steps.
- A moment of laughter after reaching a view.
- A team celebrating progress together—no matter how big or small.

At URSA Airdrie, these are the moments that matter just as much as anything we do inside our program space.

For the individuals and families we support across Airdrie, Calgary, and surrounding communities, inclusion isn’t confined to a room—it’s lived in the community. It’s about experiencing life together, building confidence outdoors, and creating real connection through shared experiences.

Whether someone is supported through Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD), Family Managed Services, post-high-school transitions, or simply looking for meaningful community participation, our team is there—walking alongside them every step of the way.

🌿 Exploration
🤝 Connection
🌱 Growth

That’s the heart of URSA.

At first glance, you might see a building.

But step inside URSA Airdrie, and you’ll quickly realize it’s so much more than that.

- It’s laughter echoing through the halls during group activities.
- It’s friendships forming over games, art, and shared experiences.
- It’s confidence being built one moment at a time.
- It’s staff who genuinely care, encourage, and celebrate every individual for who they are.

For many families across Airdrie and Calgary, finding the right support for a loved one with developmental disabilities can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve created a space rooted in belonging, dignity, community, and meaningful daily connection.

✨ And here’s something many people don’t realize…

URSA supports:

✔ Adults with developmental disabilities of varying support needs
✔ PDD-funded individuals
✔ Individuals transitioning out of high school into adult services
✔ Individuals looking for recreation, life skills, social connection, and community involvement
✔ Families seeking trusted, inclusive programming in Airdrie and Calgary
No two people are the same—and neither are our programs. We take a flexible, individualized approach that helps each person thrive in their own way.

So if you’ve ever wondered:
“Would URSA be a fit for us?”

The answer might surprise you 💙

It’s Disability Support Professionals Week 💛
This video was put together to give families connected to URSA a chance to share, in their own words, what your support means to them and to thank the people who show up each day to care for their loved one.

The impact of what you do lives in relationships, in trust, and in the small, everyday moments that matter most.

Thank you for the care and heart you bring to this work, we’re so grateful.

Today we celebrate moms, for their love, strength, and the countless ways they show up every day. 💛

Moments like these remind us how meaningful it is to pause and say thank you.
Happy Mother’s Day 💐
