What We Do
Programs
Our highly supported programs empower individuals on the autism spectrum to build the confidence and skills necessary to enjoy a lifetime of sport and physical activity.
Training & Community Engagement
We strive to promote acceptance, accessibility, and inclusion in community spaces across BC so that individuals on the autism spectrum and their families will feel understood, accepted and supported in a range of community activities and spaces.
Employment Programs and Services
We are committed to increasing representation of autistic individuals and those with other disabilities in the workforce.
“I’ve always embraced my autism. But I didn’t want to talk about it, because I didn’t want people to make fun of me.
But CAN has taught me that autism is something unique and special about me. CAN has helped me build community and learn to talk to people better. I get to be in a safe and fun environment. I’m with people who understand me and I can share my story.
I don’t think I’d have as good of an outlook on the world if it wasn’t for CAN. People will love you because of your autism. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
–Nate Keller, CAN participant since 2008
