Welcome To Your local ILRC Thunder Bay!

It's Time To Update!

Many already know about the amazing changes our Centre has and continues to undergo! We are working hard to make sure our website reflects our commitment to our consumers and participants so we are currently updating and expanding the content on our site. Some information may become temporarily unavailable as we work through this process. We are an organization that is here for and with our consumers - you! Thank you for your patience as we transform our site to better reflect us.

Exciting Centre News
In an effort to better serve you, we are now OPEN SATURDAYS!

That's right, every Saturday from 10am - 2pm your local ILRC is open for you. Come by to take part in Centre activities, have a coffee, access computers or just to say hi. Saturday hours are drop-in only and require no appointment, but please note that not all Centre services will be available on Saturdays: please call ahead if you require specific services.

About Us:

We strive to provide a broad range of comprehensive services through programs to persons with disabilities as well as education and inclusion support to our community and region.

Our focus is the promotion and adherence to the Independent Living Philosophy (IL). We do not so much believe in doing for others, as we do in educating others to do for themselves. This is the spirit of IL in our Centre and community. We are proud members of the nationally based Independent Living Canada (formerly Canadian Association of Independent Living Centres) and are thus part of a national network of similar Independent Living Centres throughout all the provinces of Canada.

If you are a person with a disability; a family member or friend of a person with a disability; an employer of a person with a disability; or the general public in need of information and answers related to any disability issue: Contact Us Today!

Our online presence is our 'dynamic' way to communicate with you. We update our website frequently, and are continually ensuring the most up-to-date information about our Centre is live. The programs and happenings of our entire Centre is contained within our website
