Who We Are
Juniper Centre Inc. was founded in 1975 with a simple yet powerful vision: to create a safe, nurturing space for peoples with developmental disabilities to thrive after completing their schooling. What began in three modest trailers has grown into a vibrant community hub, where over 40 individuals receive support and training daily.
Our dedicated team of 120 staff and a passionate group of volunteers work hand-in-hand to promote self-reliance, personal growth, and inclusion. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live a full, meaningful life—and we work every day to make that vision a reality.
