WHO WE ARE
At It’s My Life Kamloops Society, we empower adults with developmental disabilities to live self-directed, fulfilling lives. We provide personalized support that helps individuals live in their own homes, pursue meaningful employment, and engage in their communities in ways that are purposeful and important to them.
Since 2013, It’s My Life Kamloops Society has been dedicated to enriching the lives of the individuals we support through a person- and family-centered approach. We partner with individuals, their families, and like-minded organizations to create meaningful opportunities for people to live fulfilling, self-directed lives.
We are governed by the B.C. Societies Act and are a growing, committed team dedicated to creating intentional, positive change in the lives of the people supported through IMLKS.
Our agency operates under a constitution and by-laws that define our purpose and outline the regulatory processes that guide our governance, including Board Elections, Annual General Meetings, and Financial Reporting procedures.
