About Finding Balance

Finding Balance is a program which was developed over 10 years ago by the Injury Prevention Centre at the University of Alberta and designed to raise awareness about the prevention of slips, trips, and falls among older adults. The Finding Balance program is now offered throughout Canada with the help of other dedicated provincial stewards.
