The Cerebral Palsy Association of British Columbia was started in 1954 by a group of parents who wanted to assist their children living with cerebral palsy to reach their maximum potential within society. Today we are an independent charitable organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. We provide support, education, and information throughout BC. Our mission is:
• To raise awareness of cerebral palsy in the community;
• To assist those living with cerebral palsy to reach their maximum potential; and
• To work to see those living with cerebral palsy realize their place as equals in a diverse society.
As an affiliate of United Cerebral Palsy, an international research organization, we support those with CP live a life without limits. Our services include:
• Resource and Community Support
• Educational Bursaries
• Camperships
• Therapeutic yoga for youth with CP and therapeutic dance for children with CP
• Community Connections Series
• Speakers Bureau
• Roundtable e-Newsletter
• Lending library and association-produced manuals and packages
