Community Day Programs

BACI offers a wide variety of Community Day Programs – supported work, employment, education/training and leisure/recreational activities.  Programs change to meet the interests and needs of the people attending them, with the goal being to support individuals in building the skills and confidence they need to more fully participate in their community.     

Community Options Day Programs
A variety of activities are provided in small and large groups and one-to-one settings. Through the planning process, each individual’s interests, desires, strengths and abilities are explored and programs developed to meet those needs. Opportunities to participate in educational activities and other activities designed to enhance life skills and volunteer opportunities are provided.  BACI’s Day Programs are located at Antrim, Mary Street and Still Creek, and typically operate from Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Currently, there are 69 individuals being served in the various programs.

Still Creek Education Center
 The Still Creek Education Center offers a variety of skills training, education programs and leisure activities.  The number of individuals attending educational classes and the computer lab has increased to 94 per semester, with classes running for 3 semesters per year.  Approximately 36 of these individuals do not receive any funding and use the Education Center as their primary activity.  While old favorites continue to be offered, many new classes have been developed, based on feedback from individuals and their families. Drumming continues to be very popular.  Some of the new offerings are functional, such as creating conversation books.  Other classes tap into a person’s creative side through mosaic tiling, scrap booking and expression in music.  Some focus on individuals’ physical well-being through yoga and low fat/low sugar baking class. 

Twenty individuals are currently volunteering at various locations in Burnaby – building their skills, developing relationships and contributing to their community in meaningful ways.  In addition to long-term volunteer placements at daycares and seniors’ centers, new volunteer opportunities have included the Red Cross, Sports Chek, Ceperly Art Gallery, Rev’s Bowling Center, Petcetera, Maple Wood Farms, and PADS.
