Excerpts from the article:
Because it’s clear that being “the last public space” isn’t a privilege. It’s a sign that something has gone terribly wrong.
At the time, countless articles asked if new technology meant “the death of the public library.” Instead, the institution completely transformed itself. Libraries carved out a new role providing online access to those who needed it. They abandoned the big central desk, stopped shushing patrons, and pushed employees out onto the floor to do programming. Today, you’ll find a semester’s load of classes, events, and seminars at your local library: on digital photography, estate planning, quilting, audio recording, taxes for seniors, gaming for teens, and countless “circle times” in which introverts who probably chose the profession because of their passion for Victorian literature are forced to perform “The Bear Went over the Mountain” to rooms full of rioting toddlers.
In the midst of this transformation, new demands began to emerge. Libraries have always been a welcoming space for the entire community. Alexander Calhoun, Calgary’s first librarian, used the space for adult education programs and welcomed “transients” and the unemployed into the building during the Depression. But the past forty years of urban life have seen those demands grow exponentially. In the late 1970s, “homelessness” as we know it today didn’t really exist; the issue only emerged as a serious social problem in the 1980s. Since then, as governments have abandoned building social housing and rents have skyrocketed, homelessness in Canada has transformed into a snowballing human rights issue. Meanwhile, the opioid crisis has devastated communities, killing more than 34,000 Canadians between 2016 and 2022, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada. And the country’s mental health care system, always an underfunded patchwork of services, is today completely unequipped to deal with demand. According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, from 2020 to 2021, Canadians waited a median of twenty-two days for their first counselling session. As other communal support networks have suffered cutbacks and disintegrated, the library has found itself as one of the only places left with an open door.
When people tell the story of this transformation, from book repository to social services hub, it’s usually as an uncomplicated triumph. A recent “love letter” to libraries in the New York Times has a typical capsule history: “As local safety nets shriveled, the library roof magically expanded from umbrella to tarp to circus tent to airplane hangar. The modern library keeps its citizens warm, safe, healthy, entertained, educated, hydrated and, above all, connected.” That story, while heartwarming, obscures the reality of what has happened. No institution “magically” takes on the role of the entire welfare state, especially none as underfunded as the public library. If the library has managed to expand its protective umbrella, it has done so after a series of difficult decisions. And that expansion has come with costs.

who clinic
Kensington Clinic is a free-standing clinic providing confidential care for aspiration abortion, medication abortion and miscarriages up to the 20th week of pregnancy. You will be treated with respect, understanding and expert care. Clinic is accredited by the Alberta College of Physicians and Surgeons and the National Abortion Federation.
Request Appointment
Visit the Appointments Page for more information.
Support Through Every Step
Question Mark Icon
Making a Decision
We believe every person should be able to freely make choices about their pregnancy. Our experienced staff can provide accurate information and compassionate counselling to assist you in making a decision that’s right for you.
Calendar Icon
Your Appointment
A doctor’s referral is not required and services are covered by Alberta Health Care. Appointments can be booked by calling the clinic between 8:00am and 4:30pm Monday to Friday (not including statutory holidays); or you can request an appointment through our website and we will call you within 1 business day with the appointment information.
Clipboard Icon
Procedures & Aftercare
Kensington Clinic offers medication and aspiration abortions, as well as procedures to help you manage a miscarriage. For your convenience and privacy, pre-operative services including ultrasound and labs, are provided at the clinic on the day of your procedure.
bortion
There are a few types of procedures provided at Kensington Clinic:
Medication Abortion from 6 to 10 weeks
Aspiration Abortion from 6 to 16 weeks
Dilation and Evacuation from 16 to 20 weeks
It is important to know the duration of your pregnancy. This is measured by the number of weeks from the first day of your last normal menstrual period. If you are travelling a long distance from Calgary, or your pregnancy is 12 weeks or more, we recommend you obtain an ultrasound before coming for your appointment to ensure we will be able to provide the care you need. When you book your appointment, a receptionist will ask for the first day of your last menstrual period, and which type of procedure you are booking for.
Medication Abortion
Medication abortion is done in Canada using a combination of medications, together called Mifegymiso. Mifegymiso includes two medications that are taken over two days.
If your pregnancy is between 6 and 10 weeks (70 days), counting from the first day of your last normal menstrual period, you may choose either a medication abortion or an aspiration abortion. Please read about both types of procedures before booking your appointment.
All assessments including ultrasound and lab work (including a blood test for Rh type and pregnancy hormone) are done on the day of your appointment, meaning you do not have to go anywhere other than Kensington Clinic for the evaluation of your pregnancy.
Before you receive the medication, we will do an ultrasound to confirm you are no more than 10 weeks (70 days) pregnant. If you are eligible for a medication abortion, you will meet with our counsellor to discuss the steps in detail. You will then meet with a nurse who will take your medical history and do blood work. After this, the physician will start the treatment.
Mifegymiso
Mifepristone: You will take the first medication, mifepristone, in the clinic. Mifepristone will destabilize the lining of your uterus to end the pregnancy. Once you take this medication these effects are not reversible.
Misoprostol: You will be given the second medication, misoprostol, to take home on the day of your appointment. You will insert the misoprostol tablets into your vagina or into the cheeks of your mouth 24-48 hours after you take the mifepristone. You may choose the time of day you take the misoprostol, but be aware that you will start to bleed heavily within 1-4 hours. As you can expect to have heavy bleeding and strong cramping, you should choose a time when you are safe to rest. The bleeding and cramping may continue for several hours. After that, bleeding may continue off and on for up to 6 weeks.
There is a 2-5% failure rate with these medications.
Side Effects
Most people will need pain medications such as extra strength ibuprofen and acetaminophen to help with the pain associated with medication abortion. Heavy bleeding resulting in soaking 1-2 large pads every hour may occur for several hours, with on and off bleeding for up to 6 weeks. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, chills, headaches and fatigue are common side effects of the medications. Some people will find these side effects to be intense. If you are unsure you are can manage these symptoms at home, you should choose an aspiration abortion instead.
Medication Abortion vs Aspiration Abortion
Please consider carefully which type of procedure best suits you. Although there is bleeding and cramping with both aspiration and medication abortions, bleeding and cramping will be more intense and of greater duration with a medication abortion. Our staff will be happy to answer any questions you may have before you make your decision. However, if you book for one type of appointment and change your mind on the day of the appointment, you will have to rebook an appointment on another day. Please read the Comparison of Early Abortion Options
Medication Abortion Aspiration Abortion
How far along in the pregnancy can I be?
6 to 9 weeks (63 days) from the first day of
your last menstrual period.
6 to 20 weeks from the first day of day of
your last menstrual period.
Is it safe?
With both medication and aspiration abortions, there is a small risk of complications, but
abortion is at least 10 times safer than continuing a pregnancy.
Is follow-up required?
Yes. You will need to complete follow-up in 6
weeks to ensure the pregnancy has ended.
This will involve a urine test, a blood test or a
vaginal ultrasound.
No. The doctor will ensure the abortion is
complete during your appointment. You are
not required to return to the clinic for followup unless you have concerns.
How is the abortion done?
Medication causes the abortion. Heavy
bleeding with clots is common as the
pregnancy is passed, and this can continue
for several hours.
The doctor opens the cervix and removes the
pregnancy from the uterus using instruments
and suction. This usually takes 5-10 minutes.
How painful is it?
Cramps can be very strong for a number of
hours during the medication abortion. Pain
medication (such as Tylenol and Advil) can
help.
You will be given local anesthetic and IV
sedation during the procedure, and this will
help relieve pain. You may feel some cramps
during the procedure and right afterwards.
How much will I bleed?
You could have light to heavy bleeding for 1-4 weeks after either type of abortion.
Can the abortion fail?
The medication works 97% of the time. The aspiration is successful over 99% of the
time.
Can I still have children afterwards?
YES. Neither type of abortion lowers your chances of getting and staying pregnant in the
future.

the abortion happens at hom Aspiration Abortion / D&C
An aspiration abortion is done entirely in our clinic on the day of your appointment. All assessments including an ultrasound are done in the clinic so you do not have to go anywhere other than Kensington Clinic for evaluation of your pregnancy. After the ultrasound, you will meet with our counsellor to discuss the procedure in detail. You will then meet with a nurse who will take your medical history prior to your procedure. During the procedure, you will receive sedation that helps makes you feel comfortable and relaxed.
6 to 12 weeks — If your pregnancy is between 6 and 12 weeks, the doctor gently opens the cervix a small amount in our comfortable procedure room. Once the cervix is opened appropriately, the doctor uses gentle suction to clean out the contents of the uterus. The doctor may use a spoon-shaped instrument (curette) to check the walls of the uterus for any tissue that may remain. The doctor will check to ensure all of the pregnancy is removed and the procedure is complete. The procedure will last less than 10 minutes, but your appointment will take 3 hours.
13 to 16 weeks — If your pregnancy is 13 weeks to 16 weeks, you will first be given a medication before the procedure called Misoprostol. Misoprostol softens the cervix and makes dilation easier. Misoprostol takes about 2 hours to work, so you will be given a recliner to rest in. The procedure will last up to 15 minutes as described above. Your appointment will take 4-5 hours.
You will rest in the recovery area after the procedure is over. There is generally no follow-up required after an aspiration abortion. Most patients return to normal activities the following day.
Medication Abortion vs Aspiration Abortion
Please consider carefully which type of procedure best suits you. Although there is bleeding and cramping with both aspiration and medication abortions, bleeding and cramping will be more intense and of greater duration with a medication abortion. Our staff will be happy to assist you and answer your questions and concerns before you make your appointment. However, if you book for one type of appointment and change your mind on the day of the appointment, you will have to rebook an appointment on another day. Please read the. Dilation and Evacuation
16 to 20 weeks — If you are over 16 weeks, the procedure will occur over 2 days. The cervix needs to be opened by inserting laminaria (osmotic dilators) the day before the abortion. These absorb moisture and expand, gently opening the cervix. They are left in overnight. Plan to be in the clinic 2-3 hours on the first day.
The next morning you will return to the clinic and be given Misoprostol tablets to aid in softening the cervix. These take approximately two hours to work, so you will be given a comfortable recliner to rest in. When you are ready, the physician will remove the laminaria and complete the procedure. On the second day, the procedure will take 10 to 30 minutes. Expect to be in the clinic for 4-5 hours on the second day.Miscarriage
Kensington Clinic offers timely care for treatment of miscarriages and fetal demise.
Your physician may refer you or you may book your own appointment.
When a pregnancy ends on its own, it is called a spontaneous abortion or miscarriage. Miscarriages are common, occurring in 25% of pregnancies. A miscarriage usually cannot be prevented and is no one’s fault.
There is no right or wrong way to emotionally feel about a miscarriage. Experiencing a miscarriage holds different meaning to everyone. Some want to explore ways to remember the pregnancy. Others may want to just focus on getting through the procedure on the day of the appointment. You can speak with a counsellor at Kensington Clinic if you want to explore ways to feel supported, remember the pregnancy, care for the pregnancy remains, or discuss a plan for further support after the surgical procedure. Our staff can provide resources and referrals in the community for support after a miscarriage. One organization is the Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support Centre.
You have options when it comes to caring for pregnancy remains and a counsellor will support you with whichever feels right for you. Options include:
The Silent Hopes Memorial is a program where pregnancy remains lost to miscarriage are cremated and interred at a memorial garden in Calgary. There is no charge for this program.
Private arrangements including burial or cremation can be arranged through a funeral home of your choice or the clinic will recommend a local funeral home to support you with this.
The clinic will care for the pregnancy remains in a regulated manner and no further involvement is required on your part.
If your pregnancy is very early, your doctor may have given you options to treat your pregnancy loss, including:
Waiting (expectant management) for the pregnancy to expel on its own.
Treatment with a medication called Mifegymiso will cause your uterus to contract and help your body expel the pregnancy. This is successful about 90% of the time within 2-3 days of taking it. Heavy bleeding and cramping are normal with this process. If unsuccessful, you may require a D&C.
Treatment with a procedure (D&C) to remove the pregnancy from your uterus. A procedure for miscarriage involves the removal of the pregnancy and placental tissue from the uterus. This is called Uterine Aspiration or Dilation and Curettage (D&C) for pregnancies up to 15 weeks by ultrasound.
If you are over 16 weeks by ultrasound when you miscarried, the procedure to remove the pregnancy and placental tissue is called Dilation and Evacuation (D&E). You can read about the risks of these procedures here.
If you have chosen to treat your miscarriage with a D&C, or your pregnancy is at a stage where your safest option is to be treated with a D&C or D&E, your doctor can refer you to a hospital or Kensington Clinic for the procedure. You may also book your own appointment at Kensington Clinic. At Kensington Clinic we will make every effort to see you within a few days of your referral or request.
Procedures are done using IV sedation. You may feel very drowsy and not remember much after, but you will not be completely asleep. For procedures under 16 weeks, you can expect to be in the clinic for 2-3 hours. For procedures over 16 weeks, your stay in the clinic may be closer to 4-5 hours, or you may be required to come for two appointments on consecutive days. When you book your appointment, we will let you know what you can expect. You must arrange to have someone drive you home.
We will require copies of all the diagnostic investigations that have determined your pregnancy has ended or is non-viable. If you and your doctor have established you are eligible for genetic testing to determine the cause of your miscarriage, your doctor will need to forward the appropriate requisitions for the tests to us and Kensington Clinic will ensure this is done.
For more information or to book an appointment,Risks of Procedures
Aspiration Abortion or D&C
Uterine aspiration, D&C, and D&E are some of the most common procedures in Canada. The rate of complications is less than 2% and most complications are minor and easily treated. If compared to pregnancy and childbirth, these procedures have fewer complications. However, like any procedure there are risks you should be aware of.
Infection in the uterus occurs in 0.1 to 2% of aspiration procedures. You will be given one dose of antibiotics before your procedure to help prevent this from happening.
Retained tissue (some pregnancy tissue is left in the uterus). This occurs in 0.5 to 1% of aspiration procedures. Further medical care may be necessary.
Continued pregnancy or failed abortion. This is rare with aspiration abortions and more likely if the uterus has an unusual shape, if the pregnancy is very early (less than 6 weeks), or if the pregnancy is not in the uterus. You may have to return for another visit or be referred to another physician. With a normal pregnancy in a normal uterus, there is less than a 0.1% chance of this occurring.
Post-abortion hematometra. This is a rare condition where blood builds up more quickly than it can come out. It is unpleasant but is not dangerous, and is treated by repeating the uterine aspiration procedure. This condition occurs in about o.1% of procedures.
Excessive bleeding or hemorrhage. Occurs in about 0.1% of procedures. It is sometimes caused by failure of the uterus to contract or by retained tissue. Usually this can be controlled by medications in the clinic. If heavy bleeding cannot be controlled in the clinic, transfer to hospital would be required.
Injury to the uterus or other internal organs occurs in less than 0.1% of procedures. Transfer to a hospital and surgery to repair the injury may be required. Removal of the uterus is required in approximately 1 in 10,000 procedures.
Allergic reaction to any of the medications given to you, or to latex or other materials in the clinic. Most reactions can be treated in the clinic. A very severe reaction would require transfer to a hospital.
The risk of death related to surgical abortion is about 1 in 1,000,000. Most deaths are related to general anaesthesia or other medical circumstances. The risk of death during pregnancy and childbirth is ten times greater.
Medication Abortion
Retained tissue (some pregnancy tissue is left in the uterus). This occurs more frequently in medication abortions. Sometimes the uterus is unable to expel the tissue and further medical care is necessary.
Continued pregnancy or failed abortion. There is a 2-5% failure rate with these medications and if they have failed to induce an abortion the doctor will discuss a treatment plan with you.
Excessive bleeding or hemorrhage. It is sometimes caused by failure of the uterus to contract or by retained tissue. As this will be happening outside the clinic, you should contact the clinic if you are experiencing hemorrhage, and you may need to proceed to the hospital for medical care.
Infection in the uterus occurs rarely. You may need antibiotics to manage the infection.
Allergic reaction to any of the medications given to you can rarely occur. A very severe reaction would require visit to a hospital.
The risk of death related to abortion is about 1 in 1,000,000. Most deaths are related to excessive bleeding. The risk of death during pregnancy and childbirth is ten times greater

The Role of a Chiropractic Wellness Center in Managing Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is a debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It can arise from a variety of causes, such as injuries, poor posture, degenerative diseases, or even psychological factors. For those suffering from chronic pain, finding effective and sustainable relief is often a long and arduous journey. One solution that has gained increasing attention for its efficacy in managing chronic pain is the chiropractic wellness center. With a focus on holistic care and natural healing methods, chiropractic wellness centers play a crucial role in helping patients regain their mobility, improve their quality of life, and reduce their reliance on medications. In this article, we will explore the ways in which chiropractic wellness centers contribute to chronic pain management and provide an overview of the services they offer, including physiotherapy and specialized treatments like those provided by a spine doctor Calgary.
What is a Chiropractic Wellness Center?
A chiropractic wellness center is a facility where professionals utilize chiropractic care to address a wide range of health concerns, particularly musculoskeletal conditions. The primary focus of chiropractic care is the relationship between the spine and the nervous system. Chiropractors believe that misalignments in the spine, known as subluxations, can lead to pain and dysfunction throughout the body. By using hands-on spinal manipulation and other therapeutic techniques, chiropractors aim to correct these misalignments, restore proper alignment, and enhance the body’s innate ability to heal itself.
A chiropractic wellness center often offers a variety of services designed to help manage and alleviate chronic pain. These can include spinal adjustments, massage therapy, nutritional counseling, physiotherapy, and other holistic treatments. The goal is not only to treat the symptoms but also to address the root cause of the pain, promoting long-term health and well-being.
The Role of Chiropractic Care in Managing Chronic Pain
Chronic pain can be complex, with its origins stemming from issues like spinal misalignments, muscle imbalances, or even lifestyle factors such as poor posture or lack of exercise. Traditional treatments often rely heavily on medication or surgery, but these options may not always address the underlying causes of pain or provide long-lasting relief. Chiropractic care takes a different approach by targeting the spine and nervous system to restore balance and promote healing.
Chiropractors use spinal adjustments as their primary tool for pain management. By applying controlled force to specific areas of the spine, chiropractors work to realign the vertebrae, relieving pressure on nerves and restoring the body’s natural ability to heal itself. This technique has been shown to be particularly effective in treating musculoskeletal pain, including conditions like lower back pain, neck pain, and joint pain. Many people with chronic pain find that chiropractic adjustments help reduce inflammation, improve blood circulation, and increase range of motion, which can significantly alleviate discomfort and improve their overall quality of life.
Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Services
In addition to chiropractic adjustments, many chiropractic wellness centers also offer physiotherapy services to help manage chronic pain. Physiotherapy is a branch of rehabilitation that focuses on improving mobility, strength, and function through exercises, manual therapy, and other modalities. When combined with chiropractic care, physiotherapy can enhance the benefits of spinal adjustments and help patients recover more quickly from injuries or surgery.
Physiotherapists at chiropractic wellness centers work closely with patients to develop individualized rehabilitation programs that target specific areas of pain or dysfunction. These programs often include stretches, strengthening exercises, and postural training to address muscle imbalances and improve overall body mechanics. Physiotherapy can be particularly effective for patients with chronic pain related to conditions such as arthritis, tendinitis, and fibromyalgia. By addressing the underlying musculoskeletal issues that contribute to pain, physiotherapy helps patients regain movement and function, reducing the need for medications or invasive procedures.
The Role of a Spine Doctor Calgary in Chronic Pain Management
In some cases, chronic pain may be caused by more complex spinal conditions, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease. When this occurs, patients may require the expertise of a spine doctor Calgary. A spine doctor is a medical professional who specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the spine and nervous system. They may use a variety of diagnostic tools, including X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans, to identify the source of the pain and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
While chiropractic care can be highly effective for many musculoskeletal conditions, a spine doctor may be necessary for more severe or complicated spinal issues. In a chiropractic wellness center, a spine doctor can collaborate with chiropractors and physiotherapists to provide a comprehensive treatment approach. In some cases, the spine doctor may recommend non-surgical interventions, such as injections or nerve blocks, to help manage pain. However, the goal is always to explore conservative options before considering more invasive treatments, such as surgery.
Kinotek: A Cutting-Edge Approach to Pain Management
One of the more innovative treatments offered at some chiropractic wellness centers is Kinotek, a therapeutic system designed to optimize movement and promote recovery. Kinotek is a state-of-the-art device that uses advanced technology to analyze the body’s movements, identify imbalances, and provide targeted exercises that can help alleviate pain and improve overall function. By assessing how the body moves in real-time, Kinotek allows clinicians to create highly personalized treatment plans that address the unique needs of each patient.
For individuals suffering from chronic pain, especially those with musculoskeletal conditions, Kinotek can be a game-changer. It allows for precise monitoring of progress, ensuring that patients receive the most effective treatments to reduce pain and enhance mobility. Kinotek is often used in conjunction with other chiropractic treatments, such as spinal adjustments and physiotherapy, to accelerate recovery and improve long-term outcomes.
Holistic Care for Lasting Results
One of the key advantages of a chiropractic wellness center is its emphasis on holistic care. Rather than simply masking the symptoms of chronic pain with medication, chiropractic care seeks to address the underlying causes of pain through a combination of spinal adjustments, physiotherapy, and lifestyle modifications. Chiropractors work closely with patients to educate them on posture, ergonomics, stress management, and other factors that can contribute to chronic pain.
Many chiropractic wellness centers also offer complementary services, such as massage therapy, nutritional counseling, and lifestyle coaching, to support the healing process. These services work together to promote overall wellness and help patients achieve long-term relief from chronic pain.
By taking a comprehensive approach that addresses the physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors contributing to pain, chiropractic wellness centers provide a more sustainable solution for managing chronic pain than traditional methods that rely on medications or surgery. This holistic model not only helps to alleviate pain but also empowers patients to take an active role in their own health and well-being.
Conclusion
Chronic pain can significantly impact a person’s quality of life, but with the right treatment approach, it is possible to achieve lasting relief. Chiropractic wellness centers play a crucial role in managing chronic pain by offering a range of services, including spinal adjustments, physiotherapy, and cutting-edge treatments like Kinotek. With the expertise of chiropractors, physiotherapists, and spine doctors Calgary, patients can benefit from a comprehensive and individualized treatment plan designed to address the root causes of their pain and promote long-term health.
The holistic approach offered at chiropractic wellness centers not only targets pain relief but also focuses on improving overall function, mobility, and quality of life. By combining traditional chiropractic care with modern technologies and rehabilitation techniques, these centers provide an effective and sustainable solution for those struggling with chronic pain. Whether you are dealing with back pain, neck pain, or other musculoskeletal conditions, a chiropractic wellness center could be the key to unlocking a pain-free future.

How Can LGBT Parents Start Their Surrogacy Journey
Starting a family through surrogacy can be a fulfilling yet complex journey for LGBT parents. In this guide, we’ll break down the essential steps, highlight how to find the right support and discuss the role of agencies in Calgary, Vancouver, and Montreal that cater to the unique needs of LGBT couples. Surrogacy can provide a safe and structured path to parenthood, with legal and emotional support along the way.
Understanding Surrogacy for LGBT Parents
Surrogacy allows same-sex couples and LGBT individuals to build families through a structured process involving a surrogate mother. There are two main types of surrogacy: gestational and traditional. Gestational surrogacy is typically preferred, as the surrogate has no genetic link to the child, making legal arrangements easier. For LGBT parents, particularly gay male couples, gestational surrogacy offers a safe way to have a biologically related child through the help of an egg donor.
Why Surrogacy Is Popular Among LGBT Parents
With advancements in fertility and surrogacy support, many LGBT couples are choosing surrogacy over other options, such as adoption. Surrogacy for LGBT parents allows one partner to be genetically related to the child, which can be important for family identity and heritage. Additionally, surrogacy offers LGBT parents a greater level of control over the process, including selecting a surrogate and having involvement from pregnancy through birth.
How Do LGBT Parents Start Their Surrogacy Journey?
Starting this journey requires careful planning and a solid support system. Here are some essential steps to help guide LGBT parents:
Research
Look into local and international surrogacy laws, as regulations vary by country and province. Canada, for example, has specific rules, including restrictions on compensating surrogates beyond expenses.
Financial Planning
Surrogacy can be costly due to medical, legal, and agency fees. Budgeting from the beginning is crucial, as this will include costs for finding a surrogate, medical expenses, and legal documentation.
Choosing the Right Agency
Selecting an experienced agency can make the journey smoother. Agencies provide services from surrogate matching to medical and legal assistance. In Canada, agencies in Calgary, Vancouver, and Montreal specialize in LGBT surrogacy services.
Legal Counsel
Surrogacy requires a clear legal framework. An attorney specializing in family law or surrogacy can help draft necessary contracts, especially regarding the surrogate’s rights and the intended parents’ parental rights.
Emotional Support
This journey can be emotionally challenging, so finding support from family, friends, or support groups specifically for LGBT parents can make a difference.
Choosing a Surrogacy Agency in Calgary, Vancouver, or Montreal
Finding a supportive agency is key to a positive surrogacy experience. Canada is home to various agencies that support LGBT families, providing essential services for each stage of the journey.
Surrogacy Agency in Calgary: Calgary-based agencies are known for their comprehensive services, including surrogate matching and coordination with clinics. These agencies often work closely with local healthcare providers to ensure seamless medical care.
Surrogacy Agency in Vancouver: Vancouver agencies are popular for their commitment to ethical practices and support for LGBT families. They offer resources for legal guidance and provide a supportive community for surrogates and intended parents alike.
Surrogacy Agency in Montreal: Montreal-based agencies provide bilingual support and offer a range of services, including surrogate matching, legal aid, and post-birth support. Montreal’s agencies may also have connections with U.S.-based partners, offering additional flexibility for LGBT parents.
How to Find the Right Surrogate
The process of matching with a surrogate is one of the most important steps. Here are factors to consider:
Compatibility
Finding a surrogate who shares similar values and expectations can create a positive experience. Open communication about the process, medical appointments, and involvement is essential.
Location
Working with a surrogate within your province or a nearby location can simplify logistics and reduce travel-related stress.
Health and Medical History
A surrogate’s health history is vital to ensuring a safe pregnancy. Agencies often perform health screenings, but intended parents may want to review additional health background details.
Emotional Stability
Surrogacy is a unique experience, and finding a surrogate who is emotionally prepared for this journey is crucial.
Benefits of Working with an Agency
Agencies play a central role in guiding intended parents through each stage of surrogacy. Here’s how they support LGBT families:
Legal Support: Agencies assist with legal contracts and ensure all documents comply with Canadian laws.
Screening and Matching: Agencies help screen surrogates and find the right match for the intended parents.
Counseling Services: Emotional support is often available through agencies, both for surrogates and intended parents, helping them navigate the surrogacy process with confidence.
Medical Coordination: Agencies work closely with fertility clinics, coordinating appointments and handling medical arrangements.
Important Considerations: Surrogacy Laws in Canada
Canada has strict surrogacy regulations, as commercial surrogacy is not allowed. Surrogates can only be compensated for specific expenses, making it crucial for intended parents to be aware of what is legally permissible. Working with an experienced agency in Calgary, Vancouver, or Montreal ensures that all steps are compliant with local laws and protects both the surrogate and intended parents.
Costs Involved in Surrogacy
Although Canada’s surrogacy costs are typically lower than in the United States, the process can still be expensive. Costs include:
Agency Fees: Agencies charge fees for their services, including surrogate matching and counseling.
Medical Costs: IVF procedures, medical exams, and hospital visits are typically covered by the intended parents.
Legal Fees: Hiring a lawyer to draft and review contracts is essential for protecting the rights of both parties.
Miscellaneous Expenses: Additional costs, such as travel, pregnancy-related expenses for the surrogate, and other supportive services, may also apply.
Emotional Support for LGBT Parents
Surrogacy can be an emotional journey, and LGBT parents often face unique challenges. Many surrogacy agencies offer counseling services to support intended parents and help them process the emotional aspects of surrogacy. Additionally, support groups specifically for LGBT parents can provide a sense of community and understanding, as well as tips for handling questions or concerns from family and friends.

Integrating Chiropractic Care with Other Therapies for Holistic Health in Calgary
In the quest for optimal health, many people in Calgary are turning to a holistic approach that integrates chiropractic care with other therapies. This combined approach addresses the root causes of health issues rather than merely alleviating symptoms. By focusing on the whole person, these therapies aim to enhance overall well-being. If you are seeking the best chiropractic services in Calgary, understanding how they can be integrated with other treatments is essential for achieving comprehensive health benefits.
Understanding Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care primarily focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those related to the spine. Chiropractors use manual adjustments to correct spinal misalignments, which can alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance nervous system function. The goal is to restore the body's natural balance, enabling it to heal itself more effectively.
The Benefits of Chiropractic Care
Pain Relief: Chiropractic adjustments can provide significant relief from back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint pain.
Improved Mobility: Regular chiropractic care can enhance your range of motion, making daily activities easier and more comfortable.
Enhanced Nervous System Function: Proper spinal alignment ensures that the nervous system can communicate effectively with the rest of the body, promoting overall health.
Integrating Chiropractic Care with Other Therapies
To achieve holistic health, chiropractic care can be integrated with various other therapies. This multidisciplinary approach addresses multiple aspects of health, offering a more comprehensive treatment plan.
1. Physical Therapy
Physical therapy complements chiropractic care by focusing on strengthening muscles, improving flexibility, and promoting functional movement. Physical therapists use exercises, stretches, and manual techniques to help patients recover from injuries and prevent future issues.
Synergy: While chiropractic adjustments correct spinal misalignments, physical therapy helps maintain these corrections by strengthening the muscles supporting the spine.
Enhanced Recovery: Combining these therapies can speed up recovery times, making it a popular choice for athletes and individuals recovering from surgery or injury.
2. Massage Therapy
Massage therapy involves manipulating soft tissues to relieve tension, reduce pain, and promote relaxation. It can be an excellent addition to chiropractic care.
Muscle Relaxation: Massage therapy helps relax tight muscles, making chiropractic adjustments more effective.
Pain Reduction: It can also help alleviate pain by improving blood circulation and reducing inflammation.
Stress Relief: Regular massages can reduce stress and anxiety, contributing to overall well-being.
3. Acupuncture
Acupuncture, an ancient Chinese therapy, involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing and balance energy flow.
Pain Management: Acupuncture can help manage chronic pain conditions, enhancing the effects of chiropractic care.
Holistic Healing: This therapy addresses both physical and emotional aspects of health, promoting a sense of overall well-being.
Improved Energy Flow: By balancing the body's energy, acupuncture can complement the physical adjustments made by chiropractic care.
4. Nutrition and Lifestyle Counseling
Proper nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices are foundational to holistic health. Integrating chiropractic care with nutrition and lifestyle counseling can optimize health outcomes.
Nutritional Support: A balanced diet provides the nutrients necessary for tissue repair and overall health.
Lifestyle Changes: Counselors can provide guidance on exercise, stress management, and other healthy habits that support the benefits of chiropractic care.
Personalized Plans: Combining these approaches allows for customized health plans tailored to individual needs.
Choosing the Best Chiropractic Services in Calgary
