We’re doing something new… and we’re excited about it.

Our Disability Inclusion & Awareness Training is usually booked by employers for their teams. But we’ve had many people ask if they can attend on their own — so we’re opening up a special session just for individuals.

📍 817A Fort Street, Victoria
🗓 Tuesday, March 24, 2026
⏰ 5:00 PM (3 hours)
💲 $99 + 5% GST
☕ Light refreshments provided
👥 Limited to eight participants

This is not a lecture. It’s an interactive, small-group conversation led by trainers with lived experience of disability. We talk about disability, unconscious bias, inclusive language, accessibility, and how to feel more confident and comfortable in everyday situations.

There is plenty of time for questions. Curiosity is welcome.

2026 marks 40 years of our parent organization, Independent Living Canada / Vie autonome Canada!

✨ Something big is brewing… ✨
We want to close our first full week of the new year with exciting news! In 2026, IL Canada marks a powerful milestone — 40 years of disability leadership, community, and the insistence for accessibility, independence and inclusion across Canada.

✅ Four decades of voices raised.
✅ Four decades of barriers challenged.
✅ Four decades of nothing about us without us.

We’re getting ready to unveil more about our special anniversary year that honours where we’ve been, celebrates who we are, and looks boldly toward the future. 🎉

Stay tuned for all that remind us just how far we’ve come — and how much further we’ll go, together.

40 years strong. 2026 is just the beginning.
🧡❤️💙💚
--------------------------------------
✨ Un grand événement se prépare… ✨
Nous voulons terminer cette première semaine complète de l’année avec une excellente nouvelle ! En 2026, IL Canada franchira une étape importante : 40 ans de leadership, d’engagement communautaire et de lutte pour l’accessibilité, l’autonomie et l’inclusion des personnes en situation de handicap partout au Canada.

✅ Quatre décennies de voix qui se font entendre.
✅ Quatre décennies de barrières surmontées.
✅ Quatre décennies où rien ne serait fait pour nous sans nous.

Nous nous apprêtons à vous en dire plus sur cette année anniversaire spéciale qui rendra hommage à notre parcours, célébrera qui nous sommes et se tournera résolument vers l’avenir. 🎉

Restez à l’écoute pour tout ce qui nous rappellera le chemin parcouru – et celui que nous parcourrons ensemble.

40 ans de succès. 2026 n’est que le début.
🧡❤️💙💚
