It’s a profoundly important job that is accomplished through an unwavering commitment to the person behind the disability, and by maintaining active relationships with the people and communities we serve and work alongside. They are experts in SCI and serve people with all disabilities.
● As a registered Canadian charity, SCIO inspires organizations and individuals to learn about issues relating to living with a spinal cord injury, and to take philanthropic action to effect change.
