The Candora Society of Edmonton

For over 30 years, Candora has worked to create positive change for residents, living in the east end communities of Beverly, Abbottsfield and Rundle, and beyond. By providing community-based programs, we strive every day to end the isolation of poverty and to reach out to those in need.

Our Mission
The Candora Society promotes a safe, healthy, and inclusive environment for positive growth in the lives of individuals and families in the community. Candora provides educational activities supporting all ages to experience learning success and become lifelong learners and contributing members of the community.

The Candora Society is community driven focusing on individual strengths and abilities. Candora connects people increasing the understanding of each other, reducing isolation, building self-worth and enriching the community. Through mutual acceptance and respect of our similarities and differences, the community as a whole is enriched.
