We are pleased to share that we have been selected as a funding recipient of the Community Services Recovery Fund (CSRF) from the Government of Canada. These funds will go towards the improvement of our HR and recruitment processes.

This means improved payroll and scheduling processes, better recruitment opportunities, and an improved speed in our internal processes. This new and enhanced technology will allow us to provide better quality of service to people with intellectual disabilities as we focus on what’s important – proper care.

Our heartfelt thanks to Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), Canadian Red Cross, Community Foundations of Canada, United Way Centraide Canada, and Vancouver Foundation for their support.
