Parented Programs
Wood’s Homes knows the importance of ‘home’. Reverend George Wood opened his foster home in 1914 in Innisfail. Today, our services provide family-based care to children and young people with consistent in-home support to our foster parents in Calgary. Our therapeutic foster caregivers in the North (known as Home Fire Keepers) proudly serve the communities of Cold Lake, Grande Prairie and Lac La Biche.
