The volunteers behind Autism Leduc Association.
President
Superpower: Iron Woman, genius inventor. Nobody handed her the tools, so she built her own: a sensory room, a society, and a city learning to see its children.
Vice-President
Superpower: gets things filed and knows everyone in the room. Carried the incorporation over the line.
Secretary
Superpower: nothing gets past her notes. Sees the detail everyone else missed and writes it down beautifully.
Director
Superpower: builds things that last. A dad, a business owner, and the board’s voice of "will this work in real life?"
Director and Treasurer
Superpower: calm in the storm. Keeps the books, the budget, and the president grounded.
Director
Superpower: the circle keeper. She gathers women into a circle and makes it the safest room in the building, where the heavy things get set down and nobody has to carry them alone.
Mascot, Life and Social Skills Learning Hub
Superpower: finds the child who needs a friend in under ten seconds.
Autistic Advisory Council
Superpower: a calm presence. Children feel safe around her, and safe is where the words come.
Elder Advisor, Indigenous Advisory Council
Superpower: carries the old stories gently, and knows exactly which one a child needs to hear.

Autism Leduc is a place where every family is welcomed and believed the first time. We do not tolerate bullying, discrimination, harassment, or hate of any kind, toward autistic people, their families, our volunteers, or our partners. Not in person, not online, not anywhere we gather.
Everyone here is treated with dignity. Anyone who cannot do that will be asked to leave, so this stays a safe place for the families who need it.
Different is not less. Everyone belongs here.
