Disability Resource Centre for Independent Living

Disability Resource Centre for Independent Living The Disability Resource Centre for Independent Living promotes the achievement of independent living for people living with disabilities.

We are a non profit organization that promotes the achievement of independent living for all people with disabilities. We recognize the rights of all citizens with disabilities to take control of their lives by examining choices, making decisions and even taking risks. Our goals are to identify and respond to unmet needs of people with disabilities and to put solutions into place. We encourage the

full participation of people with disabilities in the planning, monitoring and delivery of all our programs and activities. We also encourage flexibility in our programs and services. If programs no longer service a need or where a more appropriate service base has been found, then the center will seek to avoid duplication of existing services and will seek to fill in the gaps in the communities current services. If you are a person living with a disability or are a family member or friend of a person living with a disability; an employer of a person with a disability; or the part general public in need of information and answers related to any disability issue: Please contact us today!
