Alberta Dreams

Alberta Dreams began in 1986 by a handful of caring volunteers who saw a need to bring a strong support system to sick children in Alberta. Registered under the Alberta Societies Act on November 21, 1986, as the ‘Rainbow Society for the Welfare of Sick Children of Alberta’, the society obtained independent charity status in January 1988, through both the provincial and federal governments. In 1992, our name was officially changed to The Rainbow Society of Alberta.

2023 brings the next evolution of the organization as we adopt a new name and identity while carrying on our core mission and values of giving the gift of hope to Alberta’s children facing severe chronic or life-threatening illness. Inspired by the over 1200 children we have served, for over 36 years, who have wished upon a star, dreaming of who they want to be, places they want to visit, adventures to go on, or things that that would make their lives better and more manageable, we continue to work to fulfill those dreams under our new name Alberta Dreams.
