Our Story
We opened our doors in July 2022 with a mighty goal to support ALL persons experiencing disabilities, with anything and everything that they needed. If we didn't know how to assist, we learned. The intention was to be together in completing essential tasks for a good life, especially at the end of the Covid-19 pandemic. We wanted to ensure that persons experiencing disabilities did not get left behind, even more, as we were transitioning out of the mass isolation.
In past year, we have strongly supported our students with academic work, helped individuals find jobs with inclusive employers, assisted people in finding accessible housing, consulted families on disability tax credit and financial supports, provided disability awareness trainings, and collaborated with organizations on inclusion projects.
Our determination to support and advocate for disability inclusion is stronger than ever. We continue to welcome anyone and everyone experiencing challenges and are always excited to promote inclusion and access alongside our community partners.
