Welcome to the
Multiple Sclerosis Wellness Centre
of Vancouver Island
PROVIDING DIRECT SUPPORT FOR THOSE LIVING WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS ON VANCOUVER ISLAND
Our History
On December 16, 2016 the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada closed to the doors of Canada’s only MS Centre offering physiotherapy services, a fitness centre and several other much needed services. Hundreds of people living with the disease were left with no-where to go.
Members of the community ban together and formed a new organization – the MS Wellness Centre of Vancouver Island – to deliver these much-needed quality of life services. The centre provides programs to people living with Multiple Sclerosis who are often on a fixed income and cannot afford the services needed to maintain a healthy and active life. The programs provide the added value of creating a safe space for people living with MS to exchange information and support one another.
- provide quality of life services for people with MS;
- support people with MS in making their own decisions about issues that impact their lives;
- promote active participation of people with MS in their larger community.
We are a registered Canadian charity based on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. We provide direct support to people living with multiple sclerosis. Membership and programs are free.
