October is Inclusion BC Month Founded in 1955, Inclusion BC is a provincial non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the participation of people with developmental disabilities in all aspects of community life. It provides support, education and advocacy, where and when it’s needed, breaking down barriers and building communities that include people of all abilities. A founding member of the provincial organization, inclusion Powell River began as a parent initiative in 1954. From that small core of volunteers, the organization has grown to a staff of 160 full- and part-time employees that provides an array of services for clients from infancy through to senior years. In total, there are 109 adults with intellectual disabilities, 363 children, youth and families, and 121 seniors who access programs. One of those adults, Paul Stroomer, is profiled in the accompanying article. For more information, readers can go to inclusionpowellriver.ca.

It was such a rush to catch the ferry, that she ended up having to buy clothes in Vancouver because she didn’t have time to pack. Paul had moved to Powell River from Maple Ridge when he was 13. When he was older he lived independently but when he was diagnosed and became sicker, he began using IPR’s Home Share program. Currently he shares a home with Dylan Parsons, “a really good guy with a cat named Lily who comes right to me when I call her.” Dylan says Paul, who has been living with him since April, is “a great guy who has a heart of gold and would do anything to help someone. He loves watch- SHRED IT: Still recovering, Paul Stroomer is back to work ing classic movies and at inclusion Powell River after his kidney transplant. wrestling with Lily.” He adds that Paul’s favourite food is lasagna, then with a laugh says, “He’s fussy. He doesn’t much care for fruits and veggies.” Paul has had to cut back on the work he could do, and during his recovery he is only working part-time doing confidential paper-shredding for IPR customers, and is unable to do any lifting that would cause strain. Although he does not know who his donor was, Paul said he will not do anything “stupid” with the gift he received. “I would like to say to the person, thank you for saving my life. I really appreciate the small things in life now, things that people take for granted.”
