True Grit: Tari-Lynn's remarkable journey

In 2012, Tari-Lynn was presented with the Al McQuire Award in the Life Skills Enhancement category. It recognized her remarkable efforts to work and live independently!

Meet Sandy and "Speedy"

Sandy's power chair "Speedy" has opened up a whole new world of comfort and mobility!

The value of a volunteer

Volunteering is about helping, not hiring. It is about giving, not taking; about contributing, not counting. Council volunteer Amy Adrian exemplifies this spirit!

Lucas Floer

Lucas has PFFD and had his first prosthetic fitting at just nine months old. Now, at 18 months, he is happy, healthy and active--PFFD has not slowed him down at all.

Making the transition: Dustin Oleskiw

Dustin's supported employment at Sobeys was a win-win for both parties! He has what it takes to succeed--a great sense of humour, sociable personality, willingness to learn new tasks and motivation to work.

Independence through Adaptive Technology

Sierra's independence is supported with a wireless interface and switch to enable her to access her school computer using the buttons she uses for driving her chair.

Employment success for Bill

With the ongoing support from staff members at the Partners In Employment office, Bill has realized his goal of full-time, meaningful employment.

Tom and the Huskies — a mutually beneficial partnership!

Tom obtained employment with the help of the Partners In Employment program, but needed more in his life than just work.

No limitations

Tony has not allowed his below-knee amputation to affect his lifestyle, maintaining a quality of life that's so important to him.

Employment Success for Kyle

Kyle found the transition from school to community work daunting but, with support from Council staff, he has become one of the most dependable and trustworthy employees at the Recycle Depot. He is proud of what he has accomplished.

Fun with FunAbilities all year long!

The magic and fun of the Summer Fun program is spread out all year long at the Parkland Ability Centre with the FunAbilities program.
