Welcome to Turning Point

Turning Point Society of Central Alberta has operated in Red Deer since 1988. Starting as a grassroots organization in response to the AIDS crisis, we have continuously adapted to the needs of the community. Throughout the three decades that we have operated, programming has both expanded and concluded. Today, we are still around – programming is just undergoing change. As we have done in the past, we are revisiting the needs of the community and shifting our focus. At the heart of all that we do, as it always has been, are the people we serve – our community.
