Since 1985, BCMOS has been working to expand the boundaries of accessibility for people with significant disabilities. Former Mayor of Vancouver Sam Sullivan, who became quadriplegic as a result of a skiing accident at age 19, founded BCMOS along with a group of friends with disabilities. Their desire to revisit wilderness areas that were so important to them when they could walk and hike motivated them to find ways to get back the freedom and inspiration of being in the great outdoors. Participants with disabilities are able to explore the wonders of the natural environment aboard the TrailRider multi-terrain wheelchair. Designed by BCMOS, the TrailRider is an environmentally sensitive method of transportation powered by two or more volunteers. BCMOS offers many ongoing activities throughout the year, including daily hiking programs, theme hikes, Kids’ Adventure Days, and Access Challenge, our annual wilderness expedition.

The Calgary Cerebral Palsy Association (also the “CCPA”) is a Calgary based non-profit organization and registered charity dedicated to our mission of providing understanding, support, and resources to individuals and their families affected by cerebral palsy. The CCPA works with various individuals, corporations and community organizations to provide support services, programs and funding to fulfill our mission. Our membership consists of families of children with cerebral palsy, adult individuals with cerebral palsy and interested organizations. In responding to the largest segment of our membership base and to provide services that are not sufficiently addressed through other community sources, the CCPA has tailored many of its services and programs to assist children diagnosed with cerebral palsy, hence our motto, “Light Up A Child’s Life”.

Our Society provides an Adult Day Program Monday to Friday. We offer: Daily social activities, entertainment, peer interaction, group exercise, mental stimulation, nutritional hot lunch, snacks, transportation, monitoring of medical conditions & medications, Nursing support, toileting, feeding and mobility assistance. The purpose of our organization is to provide services to our seniors who are facing multiple health challenges and assist them to stay in their homes for as long as possible. We offer our seniors a hot lunch program that provides a safe and warm environment where seniors can ensure their nutritional and physiological health is met. Elderly clients depend on their loved ones or their caregivers for meal preparations. For most, this help is limited. For primary caregivers at home, the center offers support and respite by providing an outside source of activities and assistance for their family member.
