The ongoing, government-driven wage inequity for unionized and non-unionized workers in BC needs to be addressed. We need to get the government’s attention. Help us reach our goal by sending a letter of support. www.equalpaybc.ca #equalpaybc

We talk about full citizenship a lot, but what does that mean? Well, it means people living their lives in a way that best fits their dreams and desires. It means being included in their community. #ImagineItLiveIt #WeAreCommunity #SocialService #NonProfit #MeaningfulLives #CommunityInclusion #ThinkFullCitizenship [Image description: Black and white umbrellas as background.

Everyone say, "Hi!" to Cedric who is learning to play the ukulele! Individualized Support (IS) is different from our other home supports. Instead, it involves one-on-one support in the community or in the person’s home. Most of the time, those who choose IS want to increase their confidence and decision-making abilities, have help making friends and professional relationships, accessing, and contributing to their community, and so much more.
