Langley Pos-Abili es Society has been in
the community since 2010. We are a registered,
non-profit, volunteer-run organiza on. Our
mission is to improve the lives of Langley residents
living with disabili es by providing:
· Disability-awareness educa on for private or
public organiza ons as well as the business
community
· An atmosphere of coopera on between us and
other service organiza ons to ensure that
individuals with disability are aware of programs
and funding which will further their independence
and inclusion in society
· Quality assis ve devices for those who would
not otherwise be able to afford them through
program fees, grants and dona ons from the local
business and service community
· Accessibility assessments and cer fica on for
private or public organiza ons and local
businesses
We have developed several programs for
organiza ons and businesses, which promote
understanding of and empathy towards persons
