Welcome To Shining Mountains
Aboriginal Owned, Staffed, and Operated in Central Alberta

  • Shining Mountains Living Community Services is a registered charity.  We have been operating in Red Deer for over 20 years.  Shining Mountains provides a wide range of community services for people at risk for and who are living with HIV/AIDS and/or HCV, homelessness, domestic violence, and addictions.
  • We offer Cultural Training for organizations, education, referral programs and capacity building.  Our programs help people help themselves and address issues related to HIV/AIDS, HCV, STI's, homelessness, domestic violence, addiction, and self sufficiency, thereby reducing the incidence of harm to all individuals and communities.

Mission Statement
  • To provide services for Aboriginal People on a Status-Blind basis that build capacity for increased physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health within marginalized and under-served populations who are, or are at risk of being affected by HIV/AIDS and / or HCV infection, regardless of where they reside.

So what does that mean?
  • Our mission, in plain language, is focused on assisting Aboriginal people in maintaining healthy lifestyles, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, especially individuals and families who are, or who are at risk for becoming HIV positive.
  • Any person can access the services that Shining Mountains Living Community Services offers, whether or not they are First Nations, Métis, or Inuit, and whether or not they are considered Status.  Shining Mountains will provide services whether an individual or family lives in a city or a rural area (hamlet, town, farm, or small community).
