About inclusion powell river
inclusion powell river is a non-profit, charitable organization based in Powell River (qathet).
We believe diversity is fundamental to the richness and vibrancy of our world. When people from different backgrounds, cultures, and experiences come together, it creates a mix of perspectives that can deepen our understanding of the world.
Inclusion is essential to ensure everyone feels valued and respected. When everyone is included, it fosters a sense of belonging and enhances the quality of life for everyone, not just those previously excluded.
By embracing diversity and promoting inclusivity, we can create a more equitable and just society that benefits us all.
From our grassroots beginnings supporting children with intellectual disabilities and special needs, we have grown into a unionized, accredited organization that provides services and programs across the lifespan.
We are dedicated to providing excellent, person-centred support to anyone who needs it because we believe everyone has a place in this community and everyone belongs.
