Vision: SMCA…Making Alberta a Safe Place to Play

Founded in 1983, and funded by the Albert Sport, Recreation, Parks and Wildlife Foundation (now Alberta Sport Connection), the Sport Medicine Council of Alberta (SMCA) was comprised of sport medicine physicians, sport physiotherapists, athletic therapists and sport scientists. The cooperative function of these individuals is to promote and coordinate the provision of sport medicine programs and services for the Alberta sport community. These professional members provide their services to assist in making Alberta a healthy and safe environment for sport and recreational activities.

SMCA also manages the Alberta Concussion Alliance.
