The future home of KDSCL

 
In early 2003 the KDSCL  Building Replacement project was initiated. Though preliminary work had been completed in 2002, the project officially began with the creation of a building replacement committee. We hired an architect to complete initial drawings and cost estimates.  We also began working with the City of Kelowna to obtain approval to proceed. 

"The project has faced many hurdles for numerous reasons. however we are now ready to proceed! We need your help! Please consider making a tax deductible donation to our non-profit society!" 

KDSCL provides opportunities for people with disabilities to achieve full citizenship by:
· Teaching employment and life skills.
· Assisting people to work, both in volunteer positions and paid employment.
· Facilitating participation in community recreation and leisure activities.
· Assisting people to live interdependently in their communities.  
The Society was started by a group of parents, teachers, doctors and concerned citizens to ensure the education of children with developmental disabilities. The Sunnyvale School opened in December 1953 with 3 students.
