Discover CLBC's L.I.F.E. Service (Learning, Inclusion, Friendship, Employment) an innovative, person-centred approach that supports individuals to build meaningful lives through community connections, lifelong learning, friendships, and employment opportunities. Unlike traditional services, L.I.F.E. focuses on the real differences and positive impacts people want to achieve, empowering them to pursue their goals at their own pace while remaining connected to opportunities for employment now or in the future. Join us to learn how L.I.F.E. is helping people across British Columbia create fulfilling futures and meaningful outcomes.
