The Participation House Project (Durham Region) is a non-profit, community-based organization providing needs-specific assistance to youth and adults with physical and/or developmental disabilities within the community. Our commitment to change and acceptance sets us apart from other organizations. We understand that beyond providing exceptional residential support services, PH recognizes and encourages personal growth in communities where individuals with disabilities have access to all it has to offer to enhance life experiences in a valued and meaningful way.

CURRENT NEWS 

We are starting 2013 off with a bang!

After years of planning, Participation House Project is very excited to be re-locating its main administrative offices to the Abilities Centre in Whitby. This location is ideal as it will   increase the profile and the visibility of the agency as well as allow for opportunity to partner with community and provincial services, such as Developmental Service Ontario and Catulpa Community Support Services, both of which will be sharing our space.

The Abilities Centre is a fully accessible, state-of-the-art multi-purpose facility that is committed to the development of an inclusive and integrated environment, where respect, understanding, cooperation, innovation and education for the core values of the facility and the people within.

This universal designed, 125,000 square foot facility houses three full regulation basketball courts surrounded by a 200 metre, six lane track. Fully equipped and universally accessible cardio/fitness, weight and sensory rooms offer unparalleled opportunities for physical activities for people of all ages and abilities.  Drama, art, and life skills programming will transpire in the performing arts theatre, music studio and life skills room.

By working closely with the Abilities Centre and its partners which include; Royal Ontario Museum, Ryerson University, Durham College, U.O.I.T., Royal Conservatory of Music, Geneva Centre for Autism, Rick Hansen Foundation and  Station Gallery, the spectrum of programs has no limits.

The Abilities Centre Mission statement reads: the Abilities Centre will enhance the quality of life for individuals of all ages and abilities through an inclusive environment.

Participation House Project (Durham Region) Mission Statement reads: To enrich lives through advocating community presence and facilitating meaningful life experiences.

It is clear we have a common purpose!
