Best Buddies Canada
Best Buddies Canada was established in 1993 by Daniel Greenglass and Penny Shore and was incorporated as a registered Canadian charity in 1995.
Our long-term goal is to make every school and community across Canada more inclusive and accepting of people with intellectual disabilities. The mission is to establish a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Best Buddies provides all participants with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a new friend. We have chapters in every province of Canada.
Adults with intellectual disabilities can volunteer to be a buddy and develop one-to-one friendships with students in elementary, high school, and post secondary institutions.
