Mission Statement
We are a non-profit organization that offers programs and services to provide greater independence and community connection for seniors and persons with disabilities.
Our Programs
Our three primary programs. Please select a program to learn more and access related resources.
Accessible Parking Permits allow individuals who have mobility disabilities to park in designated parking spaces. Any BC medical practitioner can fill out the application form and they designate whether the disability is temporary or permanent.
CaTS (Computer & Technology School) is completely free and open to all adults with disabilities, as well as seniors.
The intention of this program is to to enhance the independent living and vocational skills for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
The Information and Resource Referral Program assists clients by providing information, resources and referrals. Additionally we assist with applying for disability, pensions and other types of arduous application processes.
Annual Tax Clinic
The CVITP is an annual program hosted by us, running from March to April each year. During other times, we direct individuals to Volunteer Nanaimo, who operate the program year-round.
