Vela Canada

Self-Directed Living. Fulfilling life.

Hello, From Vela Canada

Vela Canada helps people live the life they choose through Microboards and Individualized Funding. 

A Microboard is a small group of committed family and friends who join together with a person with a disability to create a non-profit society (board).

Individualized Funding is a payment option for people served by Community Living BC. This funding helps people use the money they get from Community Living BC assistance to create new, different kinds of services that will support them in their community.
