Overview
The Independent Living Resource Centre Inc. is a non-profit organization based in Manitoba, Canada. It operates as a consumer-controlled entity, focusing on promoting and enabling individuals with disabilities to make informed choices and assume responsibility for their personal and community resources[2][3].
Mission and Activities
The centre's mission emphasizes the empowerment of people with disabilities through peer support and self-help approaches. It provides a cross-disability referral and information coordination service, complementing existing community services without duplicating them[3]. The organization supports individuals in various aspects of life, including housing, transportation, employment, and social services[3].
Programs and Services
The ILRC offers a range of programs and services designed to foster independent living skills, disability awareness, and leisure education. It also engages in advocacy and training, focusing on accessibility and universal design[2][4]. The centre facilitates traineeships and volunteer opportunities, both for local participants and international applicants[2].
Notable Initiatives
One notable initiative by the ILRC is ILRC Able Sail, a not-for-profit summer program that provides individuals with disabilities the opportunity to experience sailing, promoting inclusive recreation[5].
History
The Independent Living Resource Centre was established in February 1984 as part of the broader Independent Living and Disability Rights Movement. It is fully controlled and represented by people with disabilities, aligning with its mission to support consumer-directed services[2][3].
Role in the Community
The ILRC plays a crucial role in addressing gaps in community services by implementing pilot projects and collaborating with other organizations to enhance disability rights and accessibility[3]. Through its activities, the centre contributes to promoting the inclusion of people with disabilities in all aspects of life[4].

The Accessibility and Inclusion Ministry Team of the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Winnipeg is hosting an All-Candidates Debate on Accessibility in Canada, organized by the Manitoba League of Persons with Disabilities (MLPD). We are inviting all parties to a non-partisan discussion, moderated by Marcy Markusa from the CBC. The candidates will be discussing their positions on issues such as housing, the Canada Disability Benefit, protections for healthcare, and other concerns impacting Canadians with accessibility barriers or disabilities. This event will be held on Tuesday, April 8th from 6:30 to 8:00PM at the Unitarian Church on 603 Wellington Crescent in Winnipeg. There is a ramp at the front of the church and accessible washroom available. We are also providing ASL interpretation. There is also a limited zoom option for attendees that cannot join in person. Even in challenging times, we can evaluate the strength of a country and its leaders by how it treats its people. Please join us for this exciting event funded by Elections Canada. To register for in person attendance, click on the following link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe-8EeUszPRaXYl7Vu2VWlCvi831n9Crh7FsFxdYvjwlq_0nw/viewform To register for online inclusion, click the following link: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/pPDikLS8QDq4CfMSusMCMg#/registration (fb)
The ILRC has a new consumer that they are potentially supporting. The individual is 14 years old and non-verbal with autism. They have some physical or violent episodes but not more than once a week. Primary care is to follow the consumer. Consumer is very mobile and may take up to 10 baths per day. Consumer lines in East St. Paul, just outside the perimeter. Because transit does not provide service we need ILAs who drive and are physically capable of managing the situation. The consumer will have 60 hours per week minimum. Shifts will begin in the afternoon after the consumer arrives home from school. Weekends are flexible. If interested please contact Romeo with your qualifications at romeor@ilrc.mb.ca. (fb)
