Action Centre

Living Life Without Limits

Our mission

The Action Centre is a member-based bilingual community organization where adults with physical disabilities are supported in achieving their full potential. Equal access, inclusivity, respect, and empathy are our guiding principles.

Focusing on education, socialization, recreation and wellness, the Action Centre enhances the quality of life of its members in a safe, enriching environment. The Action Centre provides respite care for its members’ caregivers thus improving their quality of life as well.

The Action Centre raises public awareness about the needs of individuals with physical disabilities and the systemic barriers that hinder their personal and professional development.

"Connexions is one of the best things that happened to me. It allows us to break away from isolation and to be busy with very fun activities. I’m very thankful that we found a way to include me in the in-person programs even though I live 5 hours away. This gives me a chance to do what I always wanted to do - to give my voice for the resolution of social injustices."
