Wheelchair Recycling Program

Wheelchair Recycling ProgramThe children’s wheelchair recycling program provides wheelchairs to children who need a chair for the  first time or who have outgrown  their current chair.

The program was developed under the guidance of an advisory committee that includes the Abilities Foundation, Canadian Paraplegic Association, Nova Scotia League of Equal Opportunities, IWK Health Centre, Muscular Dystrophy Society, the Disabled Persons Commission and the Department of Community Services.

This is a demonstration project funded by the Department of Community Services and administered by the Abilities Foundation of Nova Scotia.

The wheelchair recycling program provides wheelchairs to children and adults with a net family income that falls within program guidelines.

This project is funded by the Department of Community Services and administered by the Abilities Foundation of Nova Scotia.
