Alberta Cancer Exercise Program

ACE Baseline was a FREE, 12-week community-based exercise program designed specifically for individuals undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment, with circuit-style classes twice per week at various locations in Calgary and across Alberta.  This program was designed to enhance your quality of life, helping you take back control over your health in cancer survivorship.  

Our community partners for our in-person class offerings included the City of Calgary Recreation, Wellspring Calgary, Lethbridge Polytechnic, and City of Airdrie

Read what Brian from Calgary has to say about our program:

“The ACE program is a veritable "gift". It gave me a sense of purpose that I lacked and a positive feeling that it was possible to feel empowered in my fight with cancer in a way that raised my self-confidence and determination to succeed.

Another benefit I got from the program was "a feeling of belonging"..... not being alone with my cancer diagnosis and that feeling is, I think so very important to mental well-being while dealing with this disease.  Making friends with others on the same journey is a benefit that extends far beyond the courses themselves. I am not alone, I have made special friends with whom I share a special bond...Need a boost?  Want to feel better?  Want to share hope and strength, join the ACE program and get the positive vibes!”
