<strong>Our vision is to create a community without barriers for survivors of stroke.</strong>

At the NSSRC, we envision a future without barriers for survivors of stroke.  Since 1974, our team has worked on the organization’s mission to maximize the quality of life for people impacted by stroke through accessible programming, peer support and healthcare partnerships.  We are the only community-based program that supports stroke recovery for North & West Vancouver and Sea-to-Sky corridor residents, operating 4 days of therapy and support programming per week.

At the NSSRC, we seek to work with individuals of diverse characteristics, backgrounds and perspectives. We strongly believe that passion and talent makes no distinctions based on gender, ethnic or national origin, sexual identity and orientation, age, religion or disability, but enriches itself through these differences.

Options for Sexual Health is based in British Columbia and is Canada's largest non-profit provider of sexual health services through clinics, education programs, and the 1-800 SEX SENSE information and referral line. Our clinics specialize in providing sexual and reproductive health services. We offer low-cost contraceptives, sexually transmitted infection testing, Pap testing, pregnancy testing, and pro-choice pregnancy options counselling. Our mission is to provide comprehensive education, accurate information, support for sexual expression and reproductive choice, and confidential clinical services that help British Columbians enjoy healthy sexuality throughout life.

TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH ACCESS TO QUALITY EYE HEALTH

As pioneers in global eye health, we see an opportunity to cultivate better futures where we work. With steadfast partnerships, boundary-pushing tools, techniques and training, we can collaborate to achieve optimal, quality eye health for all. And, by improving access to quality eye health, we’re sharing our vision.

Orbis is a nonprofit organization that works to prevent and treat blindness through hands-on training, public health education, improved access to quality eye care, advocacy and partnerships with local health care organizations.
Through training, research and advocacy, we work to strengthen local eye care institutions, train eye care professionals and advocate for supportive policies to increase awareness about the importance of quality eye health. In programs supported by Orbis in 2013, we've enhanced the skills of more than 22,000 eye care professionals, and provided treatment to more than 5.7 million blind and visually impaired people.

Parkinson’s is more than a diagnosis – it’s a life-altering reality for more than 110,000 people living in Canada, with this number set to soar to 150,000 by 2034. Behind the numbers are families grappling with a fragmented care system, long waits for diagnoses, and a lack of access to specialized care. People are losing their sense of joy and purpose, feeling unconnected, uninspired and alone. It’s a journey filled with uncertainty, where every step demands courage, every challenge requires resilience, and every moment underscores the critical need for change.

The symptoms of Parkinson’s can push people into the shadows. But at Parkinson Canada, we hope to inspire people with Parkinson’s to embrace the wobbles, the wiggles, and the wonky moments. We help people affected by Parkinson’s stand in the light – connected, supported and inspired. We transform every involuntary movement into a symbol of style. Every shuffle into a dance. Every tremor into a beat. We help people living with Parkinson’s to find their joy, their ‘swagger,’ again – or maybe for the first time.
