The Centre’s mission is to increase its members’ independence, personal growth and well-being through structured Educational, Social, Cultural, and Recreational opportunities, promoting peer support and acceptance, as well as raising awareness about the needs and rights of adults with physical disabilities. The Centre has been offering enriched Virtual Programming since the onset of the Covid Pandemic to foster connections and combat social isolation. The virtual programming is now being further facilitated by the Connexions Project and continues to enhance the members’ experience of being part of a virtual community.

Camp Massawippi
