Independent Living Resource Centre is such a valuable resource. I've had the pleasure of being assisted by two staff members, Navneet and Diane. Both were very professional and knowledgeable. They helped me find the appropriate solutions for my health needs and I am so grateful. They were so kind and caring and went over and above to make things happen for me. They kept me very informed on all the procedures and paperwork necessary. They got things done! I highly recommend anyone who needs health assistance to call the centre as they put your mind at ease.
Thank you, Navneet and Diane!! and staff, I appreciate you.

Staff are kind and helpful. They encourage and support clients hanging out before and after the program, which my daughter really enjoys! There's a variety of programs and my daughter has input into programming. Diane the program co-ordinator is easy to talk to and very accommodating! I highly recommend Independent Living Resource Centre. 😊

The Independent Living Resource Centre of Calgary is a life-changing organization that provides vital services and support to people with disabilities through life-long education, workshops, referrals, information resources and general support. I applaud The Independent Living Resource Centre of Calgary and its staff and volunteers for the good work they do and support them wholeheartedly as they help those individuals achieve greater independence.
