The Independent Living Resource Centre Calgary was founded in 1985 by a group of dedicated volunteers. Our organization is committed to empowering individuals with disabilities to live their lives to the fullest. We provide support, resources, and programs that help people achieve their level of independence, which means making decisions about their own lives, having control over their choices, and being able to participate fully in the community. Our services include workshops, peer support, mentorship, and more, all designed to help individuals build the skills and confidence they need to succeed. We believe in creating an inclusive world where everyone, regardless of ability, has the opportunity to live independently and make choices that align with their personal goals and values.
