We would like to be able to serve all people in our community with an intellectual and/or other disability and their families, to have a good life, enjoying the same rights and freedoms, and being able to have the same expectations as other community members; to have a job, friendships, a decent place to live, and feeling the sense of belonging that comes with being included and valued.

Many of our activities and services are dependent on donations and your support enhances our ability to create inclusive opportunities within our community in areas such as arts, culture and recreation as well as providing the day to day services that many people with a disability require. Without additional assistance, many individuals with disabilities would not be able to share their valuable talents and contributions as volunteers, artists, leaders and engaged citizens.
