PACIFIC TRAINING CENTRE (PTC)

PTC is community-focused, accountable to the people we serve, and the vast majority of our funds are spent on direct program delivery... The PTC was founded in 2011 and has been providing services since 2014. The idea of the centre took root years before in the minds of blind people who wanted to address the high unemployment rate (75% nationally), isolation, and severe lack of intensive rehabilitation available to blind people in the province and in the country... PTC's programs are accredited by the Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Our Blind People In Charge program has won the Canada Life Literacy Innovation Award from ABC Life Literacy. PTC is also one of the only organizations in Canada that offers regular, intensive, group-based blindness skills training to blind and low vision adults.
