Request a technology
If you think that we can help you or someone you know, please get in touch with us:
- Submit a completed CanAssist Project Request Form [PDF - 113 KB].
**Note: This form is a fillable PDF. You can fill it in, print it off and send it to us by fax or regular mail. Alternatively, you can print if off first and complete it by hand.
- Once the form is completed, please send it by fax to 250-721-7299, or by regular mail to CanAssist, University of Victoria, E-Hut, PO Box 1700, STN CSC; Victoria BC; V8W 2Y2.
- If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Tanya Switucka, our Client Relations Manager, at 250-853-3874 or at switucka@uvic.ca.
Once you have submitted a request...
We will review your request and contact you as soon as possible - usually within a week to 10 days. If we can find a solution that already exists, we will direct you to its source and assist you in determining its suitability.
Please keep in mind that while CanAssist wants to help as many people with special needs as possible, our limited resources and the increasing demand for our assistive technology services mean we are usually able to undertake only one project per individual or family each year - though this depends on the complexity and scope of the project. In exceptional circumstances or as our resources allow, we will consider more than one request per family in a year.
Further, while we are delighted to assist individuals and families in other provinces and countries, our priority must be to those who live in British Columbia. Certainly, we would be happy to discuss ways that we can provide assistance to those outside B.C. and help find ways to minimize the costs borne by the users of our services and technologies.
