Parents of multiples have always known raising multiples was a different experience. Back in 1970, five women responded to a newspaper advertisement that asked if others would like to share the joys, tears and frustrations of raising twins. Since then our society has been known by many names, but has continued to serve the primary purpose of that initial gathering. The society incorporated in 1971 under the name Calgary Twin and Triplet Club. The name next became Calgary Parents of Multiple Births Association (CPOMBA). In 2001 we changed our name to Twins, Triplets and More Association of Calgary (TTMAC) to identify the purpose of our club more clearly. A non-profit organization made-up of parents supporting parents, TTMAC includes 500 families with multiples within and beyond Calgary's city limits. Our mandate remains to provide support to parents of multiples on issues regarding multiple-birth children.Society membership benefits include:
TTMAC divides the city and surrounding areas into zones to make it easy for our members to meet other parents who live close-by. Each zone hosts monthly coffee parties. These fun and informal get-togethers give our members an opportunity to get out without children, share stories, ask questions and support one another. Meet us each month to learn more about the challenges and blessings of being a parent of multiples as well as to enjoy your multiples and the friendships that abound in TTMAC. You'll also find specialized support for various situations, including:
