The Vic Mahoney Centre (VMC) is a Community Participation Program that provides support for recreational opportunities, life skills and community involvement.
At the VMC, we try to accommodate to everyone’s wishes through person directed planning. We provide different activities on a daily basis, volunteering by giving back to the community and participation in community events.
We are currently designing, updating and implementing Person Centered Plans and they are directed by the people we support. People who know and care about the person will be asked to provide input into the plans.
We have partnerships with Xstrata, Toffanellos, City of Timmins, Porcupine Advance and Explor Resources Inc. to name a few. We complete paid contracts for these businesses. During the summer months we like to spruce up the schedule by offering activities such as; day trips out of town, special outings, fun and games etc…
As identified by the people we support as an important part of their lives, the following are some new activities that can be expected for this new year:
- Walking Club at Rehab Plus
- City Bus Transportation
- Day Trips Out of Town
- Exciting, Fun Filled Summer Activities
- Swimming at the Archie Dillon Sportsplex
- Sleigh Ride at Cedar Meadows
- Shania Twain Centre
- Cinema 6
- Much, much, more to come!
