Tetra Society (Nanaimo Chapter)

The Tetra Society in Nanaimo would like to make the public aware that it exists and is able to help disabled people. Tetra is a none profit organization with a purpose to recruit skilled volunteers to create assistive devices for people with disabilities. Tetra recognizes that people are not handicapped by their disabilities but by obstacles or barriers in their living environment. Volunteer engineers, design technicians and health professionals work one to one with people with disabilities to make assistive aids or modifications to their environment so that greater independence can be achieved.

The Volunteers donate their time and the only cost to the client is the material. In the event a client can not afford the materials, there is also funding available. The Nanaimo Chapter of Tetra also welcomes outside funding support to assist those clients who are in need of funding.

Please pass this information on to anyone on Vancouver Island you might think can use the services of Tetra. Your voice will help Tetra in spreading the word on its services and in turn may improve an individuals independence. The Nanaimo Chapter of Tetra is also looking to identify Volunteers for current and future projects. To contact the Nanaimo Chapter of Tetra, please contact: Jim Pickell or at 250-756-2422, Check Tetra out on the web at www.reachdisability.org/tetra
