Independent Living Vernon's AGM, Volunteer Appreciation & Network for Inclusion Community Meeting

On December 2, 2011 IL Vernon hosted a community consultation to hear from people with a variety of disabilities about their experience in the community. Before the consultation, IL Vernon held its AGM. We had a great turn out for both events.  Here are some pictures:

IL Vernon was excited the new Mayor was able to join us, so we could welcome him to his new job!

 And we are always excited to have Patrick Nicol at any event, he has always been very supportive of IL Vernon.

 Three social workers!

 The new mayor Buffy & Don

 Some of IL Vernon's great Board members (Left to Right) - Leon, Maggie, Susan, & Linda!

 The Executive Director dishing out dessert to members and volunteers - glazed coissants are highly recommended by IL Vernon! YUM!

 Peer Support in action!

IL Vernon appreciates all the support from members and volunteers and community members. Feedback from the community consultation will be circulated! Keep a look out for it!
