Planned Parenthood Edmonton
Plan Parenthood Edmonton was founded in 1964 to advocate for the legalization of birth control. Over the years, Plan Parenthood Edmonton has broadened its focus and is now a community based non profit social agency whose mandate is the promotion of healthy sexuality for all, through education, counseling and advocacy, in partnership with the community. Its core business is providing women and men in Edmonton, primarily adolescents and young adults, with skills and knowledge to make informed choices around issues of sexuality within the context of their values, beliefs, culture and experiences.

Thus, these elements of their philosophy direct them to work from a non-judgmental, choice oriented and sex positive approach.
