Kardel

Kardel was born in 1987, during the early days of institutional closures. There was no grand vision, only a desire to participate in the development of community-based services for people with developmental disabilities. Since our beginning, we have been committed to person-centred supports that respect individual choice. Kardel’s services have gradually diversified, an evolution made possible by the hard work, dedication, and creativity of many wonderful people. Over the years Kardel representatives have also been active in many collaborative roles beyond their responsibilities within the agency, supporting more broadly the interest of community living in B.C. Kardel is a CARF-accredited agency providing residential, day service, home share, respite services, and other individualized supports through Host Agency Agreements. The services Kardel provides are funded by Community Living BC. The desire to participate in the development of individualized community-based services is as vital today as it was when Kardel began.
