Initiated by the Edmonton General Continuing Care Centre's Family and Community Advisory Council, Second Wind Dreams supports activities and events of modest cost but significant impact—such as connecting with a long lost friend, reuniting with a family member, reliving a past experience, going to a concert, or being pampered in a spa. |

"Our hope is to create a sense of fun and encourage involvement," says Diane Berge, Chair of the Family and Community Advisory Council. "Continuing care centres like the Edmonton General are wonderful places to build connections and community. Second Wind Dreams will give residents the opportunity to have meaningful experiences they've always dreamed of."
The kick-off event received wide media coverage which resulted in a wonderful response from the public—from calls offering donations of time and resources to people interested in helping residents fulfill their dreams.

The Family and Community Advisory Council is a group of volunteers who serve in an advisory capacity to the Vice President of Continuing Care. Their role is to provide feedback on residents' quality of life in their capacity as family and friends. A key component of the work of this committee is to gain awareness of issues facing the continuing care program and to advocate internally and externally on the resident's behalf.
