History

The Robin Hood Association is a non-profit society that provides services to people with disabilities. The organization was formed in 1963 under the guidance of Col. E. W. Cormack and Dr. Barbara Cormack.

The first project undertaken by the Association was the development of the Robin Hood School which was originally in a house in Sherwood Park. Robin Hood Centre, located at 3 Spruce Avenue, was constructed in 1968. In 1974 an adult vocational program was initiated. The Robin Hood Association also opened its first community-based group home that year. In the 1980's a wide range of services for children with disabilities were developed.

The Robin Hood Learning Centre was built in 1997 and is a central location for all programs operated by the Association as well as administrative services.

The principles that have guided the Robin Hood Association are a commitment to excellence in service delivery and a willingness to be innovative. The history of the Robin Hood Asssociation has been marked by steady growth and the provision of an increasingly broad array of services to meet the needs of persons with disabilities.
