About us
The
Cerebral Palsy Foundation (Saint John) Inc., founded in
1956, is the only association in New Brunswick that represents
persons with cerebral palsy. The Foundation provides financial
assistance to assist with the purchase of equipment, provides general
information about cerebral palsy and serves as a support
group to its members.
The
Foundation is a non-profit organization, managed entirely by
volunteers. Our funding comes from donations by individuals
and service organizations, from our own fundraising efforts and from our membership fees.
We
welcome opportunities to partner with New Brunswick businesses and
organizations in order to increase awareness and support for those
living with cerebral palsy.
Except
during the summer months, the Foundation meets at 7:00
p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month in the Recreation Room
at Rocmaura Nursing Home in Saint John and welcomes visitors
and new
members. Details of upcoming meetings may be found on our News & Events page.
Our
logo
The
logo shown on this page was adopted by the Foundation
in 1998, following the lead of cerebral palsy organizations
in Western Canada. It shows two stylized individuals -
one using a wheelchair and one using a walker or cane.
Both are depicted as active or "on the move".
They are shown within a circle, which borrows from the
native "circle of life" concept and also symbolizes
the idea of inclusion, because they are part of the circle.
The width of the circle varies in recognition that needs
change during every life cycle and individuals may need
more or less assistance at different times in their lives
to remain included
