A Virtual Welcome to CanAssist!

We are excited to introduce a new video, Welcome to CanAssist, narrated by Shelagh Rogers, Chancellor of the University of Victoria.

 

 

 

CanAssist at the University of Victoria
is dedicated to helping people with
disabilities improve their quality of
life, with a focus on promoting
independence and inclusion.

Our talented team develops
innovative technologies and
programs where there are gaps in
existing services. We work with
the exceptional students and
faculty at UVic, along with
partners in the wider community.

 

We acknowledge and respect the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Songhees and Xʷsepsəm/Esquimalt) Peoples on whose territory the university stands, and the Lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
