About This Program
Community Inclusion supports individuals to take part in community life while building skills for greater independence. People come to the program for different reasons. Some want opportunities to connect with others and try new activities. Some want support building everyday skills. Others benefit from a daytime program with routine and social connection. Individuals help shape what happens in the program. Together with staff, they create goals, choose activities, plan outings, and organize events based on their interests. Support is flexible and centred around each person’s strengths, needs, preferences, and interests. Everyone brings their own interests and strengths. We take time to understand what matters to you and support you in ways that fit your life.

Our Approach
We begin by asking what matters to you most. From there, we talk about the things you would like to try, learn, or experience. Staff are there to support you, and you can include family or other people you trust if you choose.
Together, we create a simple plan that helps guide activities and experiences in the program. Support is flexible and shaped around your interests and strengths. As your interests change, your support can change too.
