Vecova: A Place to Belong. A Partner for Life.
Vecova is a Canadian charity that has been supporting people of all abilities since 1969. We provide inclusive, people-centred services across housing, employment, mental health, wellness, and community access — all designed to help individuals live with dignity, purpose, and independence.
More than just a service provider, Vecova is a trusted partner. Our integrated programs and social enterprises, including our bottle pickup services, empower individuals and strengthen communities. With a deep commitment to accessibility, innovation, and care, we continue to lead with impact — building a future where everyone belongs.

New Pool, Same Warm Welcome: Vecova and Vivo Collaborating to Continue the Care
Many in the community are wondering what’s next after the permanent closure of Vecova’s Aquatics Centre. We’re excited to share that, in collaboration with Vivo, accessible warm water programming will continue in a new location. Vecova and Vivo are working together to keep you connected to inclusive, accessible aquatic opportunities!
We are thrilled that Vivo has stepped in to support our community, as Vecova was one of the few warm water pools in Calgary. Vivo has increased their pool temperature and expanded their programming to welcome former Vecova swimmers. Here’s what you need to know about how this new collaboration works:
