With restrictions easing across the province easing on July 1st, private businesses are permitted to set their own policies as per the Alberta Government. To ensure the safety of our staff, volunteers, and visitors, Dreamcatcher™ is requesting all visitors to continue to wear a mask when inside of our building. We also ask that you remain in your vehicle until one of our staff come to greet you. If you need to use the facilities at anytime, please come in with your mask on. We ask those transporting visitors to please do the same and return to their vehicles for the duration of their time with us.

***COVID-19 UPDATE MARCH 18, 2021***
It’s been a year and we’re still here!
With the ups and downs of the last 12 months, Dreamcatcher would like its clients and visitors to know that we are still providing therapeutic and recreational services. We have expanded our programs to include the Rejuvenation Program for front line workers and first responders, and our behaviour supports program, but also hired more therapists to meet the needs of our clients. We have many new protocols in place to help keep everyone safe and are offering in person, online or telephone sessions. We have already posted our Animal Assisted Intervention trainings for 2021 and are excited to announce our specialized summer camps for children and youth with Tourette Syndrome.
Our admins are both working in the office and our therapists are back to being available Monday - Thursday from 9am - 8pm!
Cant find what you are looking for or have questions about services? Email us at info@dreamcatcherassociation.com where we are happy to help!
