The Brenda Strafford Foundation

The Brenda Strafford Foundation (BSF) is a registered Canadian charitable organization established in 1975 by Dr. Barrie I. Strafford to honour his late wife, Brenda Strafford.

BSF's core business is seniors care. The Foundation now owns and operates five Long Term Care and Assisted Living seniors care facilities in Calgary, AB, and Okotoks, AB, with over 1000 beds and approximately 1100 staff.
