This tour provides an introduction to PDD Edmonton and an overview of our
services and supports.
Our History
Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD) Edmonton Region Community Board
assumed governance responsibilities for the PDD Edmonton Region in April 1998.
It is one of six regional PDD boards across Alberta. The regional boards were
created to encourage more community involvement in the planning and delivery
of supports and services to adults with developmental
disabilities.
Our Board Members
Community board members are volunteers appointed by the Alberta Minister
of
Seniors and Community Supports for a three-year term. The nine board
members include
a chair
and vice chair, a secretary and representation from community members and
parents/guardians of adults with developmental disabilities. In 2002, PDD Edmonton
Community
Board began an intern program, and selected two individuals with developmental
disabilities to sit on the board. The chief executive officer reports to the
board.
Our Region
The PDD Edmonton Region serves metro Edmonton and a geographic area ranging
from Sherwood Park along the Yellowhead corridor to the British Columbia border.
