Action Centre

Living Life Without Limits

For over twenty years, Action Centre has served as a community day program for adults with physical disabilities. Located in Ville Saint Laurent, Montreal, we welcome members from all over Montreal to participate in our bilingual programming where learning and socializing  take place in a welcoming community setting.

Our mission

The Action Centre is a member-based bilingual community organization where adults with physical disabilities are supported in achieving their full potential. Equal access, inclusivity, respect, and empathy are our guiding principles.

Focusing on education, socialization, recreation and wellness, the Action Centre enhances the quality of life of its members in a safe, enriching environment. The Action Centre provides respite care for its members’ caregivers thus improving their quality of life as well.

The Action Centre raises public awareness about the needs of individuals with physical disabilities and the systemic barriers that hinder their personal and professional development.
