Providing compassionate, paid support services for individuals and caregivers across Northern Alberta. Where compassion meets structure, and every act of support has heart.

Handshake inside a heart with the words ‘Where Compassion Meets Support’ – The Iris Project Inc. logo

We build bridges where support has gaps,

not to carry people,

but to walk beside them until they feel steady again.

Because every caregiver deserves a break.

And every person deserves connection.

Because every act of kindness has roots, see where ours began.

About Us

Our Mission

Every story has a beginning, ours started with a belief that no one should ever feel unseen.

 

At The Iris Project, we believe compassion and professionalism can exist side by side.
Our mission is simple: to bridge the gaps in available support with structure, empathy, and dignity, ensuring no one is left without support.

 

We provide paid assistance and companionship for individuals of all ages, as well as respite for caregivers. Whether you need a few hours each week or ongoing support, we tailor our services to meet your specific needs.


We’re here for everyone who needs us.
