Background
For several years, the Board of Central Alberta Residence Society has provided strategic direction for the agency to consider a name change and new logo and to develop a branding strategy.
Why a name change?
Feedback from staff was that the acronym “CARS” was difficult to explain when interacting with community members.
As well, over the years, Central Alberta Residence Society has developed its services into more than just “residences”.
Meaning of Etana
The name Etana is of Hebrew origin and it means dedication, strength and “strength of purpose”.
Dedication
Stakeholders of CARS are dedicated to the individuals and families. Many individuals, staff and board members have honoured the agency by being with us for many years.
Strength
Our culture of caring and family and living our mission and vision is strong!
Strength of purpose
The tagline “enriching lives” describes our purpose of coming together to enrich each other’s lives every day!
Heart
The heart symbol in our logo symbolizes the warm and caring people at the agency. The individuals we serve are at the “heart of all we do”.
Please be patient with us as we transition our social media, logo and email addresses.
