The Lunenburg / Queens Action Council for People with Disabilities is a non-profit organization funded by Service Canada.

Our mission is to enhance the employability of people with disabilities in Queens and Lunenburg counties by promoting access to training programs, increasing access to job supports, enhancing employer awareness of people with disabilities and promoting work and volunteer opportunities for people with disabilities.

We assist by:

• Creating employment opportunities.
• Stressing abilities, not disabilities.
• Providing supports in terms of job preparation, resume writing, and interview skills.
• Increasing public awareness of our clients' needs and capabilities.
• Increasing our clients' awareness of other community resources.

Please contact us if you have any questions or comments you wish to share.

We also encourage you to share your stories and ideas directly with the federal government. Social Development Canada's Persons with Disabilities Consultation is available until October 2005.
