Supporting adults with 'diversabilities' is as simple as going out for dinner this Wednesday.

Pathways Abilities Society and Kelowna Community Development Society have a combined history of providing services to individuals with diversabilities and their families in our community for more than 90 years.   

"By offering a combination of Community Inclusion, Social Recreation and Activity services; Integrated Career Opportunities and Social Ventures; and Residential and Home Sharing services we work collectively to empower individuals with diversabilities to live fully inclusive lives where their quality of life is improved," Waldal said. 

“We are so pleased to partner with Kelowna Community Development Society on this great event," Pathways Executive Director Charisse Daley says.
