Flex House Flex House is an Enviros program that first opened its doors in 1994. Flex House is a residential treatment program that works with boys and girls aged 8-12, along with their families. Youth who cannot live at home due to behavioral concerns, come to Flex House for up to six months. The intention of every youth’s stay at Flex House is that they will be successfully reintegrated into their family. The Flex House team works with the young people to help them develop the skills and gain the self confidence that will allow them to move forward with their lives. An important component to the Flex House program is the belief that it takes change and effort from the entire family in order to move forward from a place of challenge to a place that offers positive successes. Therefore Flex House works extensively with the entire family, establishing treatment goals and supporting each family to meet those goals through the use of various therapeutic tools. These tools include access to family and individual therapy, in home support, family coaching and experiential programming including both urban and wilderness based work. Flex House has four residential beds and one in home position available to Calgary families, making it an integral part of the family of programs available within the Enviros Community.

Conoco Phillips Community Day October 19, 2007 was an exciting and awe inspiring day for all of us at Enviros. Over 50 employees of ConocoPhillips Financial Department came out and gave our programs a face lift. They painted the inside of three of our group homes, put up reinforcing walls, replaced the overhead cover for the backyard patio, replaced and rebuilt a cement patio and even removed a cement pillar that was buried in the back yard. As if this wasn’t enough, the ConocoPhillips team surprised us all with the purchase of 4 new flat screen computers, 2 refrigerators and a stand up freezer. To say we were overwhelmed with their generosity would be an understatement. A big thank you goes out to all of the folks who helped out that day, the Team Leaders who organized their groups and the work that was done and to Becky Monroe, Dave Allan and Dave Newby for spearheading and organizing this day. It was an amazing day for everyone and a great example of how much can be done with the partnership between people who care and those who are in need. To quote Margaret Mead “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”

Enviros 8th Gala Event Join us for a fun filled evening on May 7th, 2009 with Enviros Wilderness School Association at our Eighth Annual Fundraising Gala. This year we are pleased to present Theatre Calgary’s production of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” Based on the popular film, this Tony-award winning new Broadway musical is so much fun it’s almost criminal. Set on the French Riviera, sophisticated con-man Lawrence Jameson makes his living by deceiving wealthy women. When small-time crook Freddy Benson arrives on the scene, a hilarious “battle of the cons” ensues. With side-splitting lyrics, and superbly catchy songs, this modern take on the old-fashioned musical is sure to take you in. The evening begins at 6 p.m. with a gala reception and silent auction that is then followed at 7:30 pm by the presentation of the play. Tickets are $95 each. Your contact for participating in this evening is Carlene Chrumka, Manager of Fund Development. Carlene can be reached by email at cchrumka@enviros.org or by phone at 403-219-3499. Thank you for your support of this great organization. Your generosity makes a difference and helps Enviros to continue strengthening family and community, one child at a time.
