In 1982, the Junior League of Edmonton acquired puppets and trained members to assist elementary school children with their understanding of the handicapped. In 1983, six teams of puppeteers performed 175 presentations to Grade 3 students. Another set of puppets was acquired in 1984. Demand for the program grew steadily, and League volunteers loved this placement. In June 1987, the project entered into collaboration with the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital. In April 1988, the League provided assistance in setting up training workshops for Glenrose volunteers. The turnover was successfully completed in April 1989.
