BACI offers Community Inclusion services that support adults in small groups and on a one-to-one basis, to access and participate in a range of events and activities within their local communities. The activities take advantage of each person’s strengths and abilities, focusing on recreation, personal growth and development, relationship building and volunteer activities through individualized programs. Supports are typically provided Monday through Friday during the daytime, however we strive to be flexible to meet the needs of participants.

We have partnerships with the City of Burnaby and offer a number of adapted recreational activities throughout the day at local community centres. In addition, we inquire into a person’s desire to work. If they are interested, we assist in exploring pre-employment skills through volunteering and other work-related activities.
