Disability Supports
Our Vision for 2015
Everyone has supports for daily living and enjoys full social participation in inclusive and accessible communities.
Why it's important
Every person in our province has worth, is valued and has the right to be included in our communities. Disability supports make it possible for people with developmental disabilities to live and participate as full citizens. A decent quality of life means having the supports you need to contribute to your community and live a safe, healthy and productive life.
