A multiservice, non-profit children's mental health organization based in Calgary, Wood's Homes serves communities throughout Alberta and in the Northwest Territories. In honour of the 100th anniversary of Wood's Homes in 2014, this collection of 100 stories celebrates the deep and lasting impact the organization has had on those who have lived and worked there.
