Welcome to our Peer Group!

 

 

 

What is the Peer Group?

The way in which ILRC views the term "Peer" is simple!  A peer is an equal; as we are all equals.  The ILRC's Peer Group in an inclusive, creative and fun way to get social.  Each month we offer a variety of events and activities that will give you, our peers, the opportunity to build on existing relationships while forming new friendships...and you might even learn something too!  The ILRC staff provide a welcoming and exciting environment.  We look forward to seeing you here!

Who can Join?

If you are over the age of 16 with a disability and you are looking to join a great group of people then we want you!

What is the cost?

Currently there is no cost associated with being involved with our Peer Group.  As we add more elaborate and expensive outings, consumers may be asked to contribute to expenses on an event-by-event basis.  Unless otherwise specified, there is no cost for support workers.

What does the Peer Group do?

At ILRC Thunder Bay, we are constantly hosting a variety of events and activities for our consumers.  There is something for everyone!! Do you love to cook? Then come out for one of our food and culinary themed activities.  Are you a budding artist? Then join in on some creative events and get inspired!  Are you just looking to get out in the community and meet some new and interesting people? Then sign up for any one of our social groups or come and hang out with friends in the brand new IL Lounge!
