Over the past year, Care and the Calgary SCOPE Society have been exploring opportunities to strengthen our collaboration, with the shared goal of enhancing client outcomes and implementing best practices across both organizations.
Following a series of thoughtful discussions between leadership teams, both organizations have agreed to move forward with a working alliance model rather than a formal merger. This approach better reflects our shared commitment to clients, employees, and communities, while allowing each organization to maintain its unique strengths and identity.
The decision recognizes that while the original merger timeline is no longer feasible, the progress made together has laid a strong foundation for ongoing partnership and collaboration. Both boards are now engaging in continued dialogue to refine the structure and direction of this alliance.
Through this partnership, Care and SCOPE will continue to work closely on several shared priorities.This alliance represents a meaningful step forward that centers on collaboration, learning, and a shared dedication to supporting the people we serve.
