It operates through a network of affiliated organizations, including the Vancouver Adapted Music Society, the Disabled Sailing Association, and the Tetra Society of North America, among others. These groups offer specialized initiatives such as adapted music programs, accessible sailing opportunities, and custom-designed assistive devices to help individuals overcome physical barriers and pursue their passions.
