Life Sharing

Network

of the Burnaby Association for Community Inclusion

What does it mean to share a life?

Life Sharing means living with and sharing life's experiences together and forming a supporting and caring relationship.

We at BACI believe that a home is more than just a location or physical materials. It is people, relationships intertwined with the day to day and the celebration of what's still to come.

We start with a three way relationship between you, the person with disabilities/their family and BACI. Each of the members has a role to play in this relationship and each member puts their hand in with a set of hopes, dreams and expectations.

While every Life Sharing relationship is unique, there are some hopes and expectations that are common. Such as having a good life lived with purpose and the right and reality to be treated and supported with respect.
