TO SERVE YOU BETTER struction Ltd., the for the Castlegar Aquati¢ Centre, a Society aims for accepting environment By CLAUDETTE SANDECKI Staff Writer A ‘disabled man in his 20s who had never said a word began to speak after becoming involved with the Light and Power Co:, a theatre group that is open to any member of the community and provides *‘an environ ment where everyone is accepted,” says the president of the Castlegar society that started the theatre group. And the environment of the Light and Power Co. that encouraged that young man to speak is the en vironment the society would like to create for all of Castlegar, says Norma Collier of the Citizens Advocacy Society, one of several local organizations which receives funding from the United Way. UNITED WAY FEATURE **Our objective is to try to create an environment within the community that is accepting of all in dividuals,”" **We just happen toizero in on people with disabilities."* The Light and Power Co. is now striking out on its own, she says, but there is plenty left to do for the about 10 Collier says. society, which.has no staff and is run by families with disabled members, to create an environ: ment where **people are appreciated, not depreciated.” The society act that get involved, she says, providing assistance such as workshops-about the lonliness sometimes experienced as a support group for the families by people with disabilities and how to develop frien: dships. Collier says the society would like to have the time to match disabled people with friends or advocates in the community but currently can only encourage ‘disabled people to seek advocates on theirown, “When it happens, we jump at it (the chance to match people up),”’ she says. The society also runs @ program in the school district for disabled students that provides achance for them to enjoy the outdoors and be involved in the com- munity, says Collier who became involved with the society through her daughter's attendance of Hobbit Hill Children’s Centre. The program, which runs from mid-May to the end of August, also provides a chance for the students to keep up skills learned in school and gives respite to the children’s families who may need a break from their care, she says This year, Cory Kalyn, who was originally part of the summer program, helped run the program, Collier adds. The society sees more needs in the community, 17, a high school student however, and is looking at starting other programs such as one to help parents of disabled young people and adults understand their children’s sexuality, Collier says to be thought of as Disabled people” tend *‘asexual,”’ she says, and parents often need help uhder standing titis aspect of their children’s lives The society receives some funding for its work from the federal government and some from the school district for its school program but United Way dollars areimportantto the running of the society, Collier says.
