About Company
ResourceAbilities is a voluntary, non-profit, non-government organization that is governed by a sixteen-member Board of Directors, at least nine of whom must have a disability.
ResourceAbilities was formed in 1974 under the incorporated name of the PEI Council of the Disabled with an original mandate to speak out on issues such as housing, education, employment, transportation, human rights, and access to support services, all of which it continues to address today. In 2007, the name was changed by the members to the PEI Council of People with Disabilities. In 2018, extensive consultations were held with members, Board, and stakeholders, and the new name ResourceAbilities was approved.
