Participation House Brantford opened in June 1978 to provide community living accommodation for physically disabled adults. This opening was the result of a great deal of foresight and dedication by people from Brantford and Brant County who wished to provide quality opportunities for physically disabled persons. The individuals who came to live at Participation House viewed it as their home. Many had been inappropriately placed in large institutions and chronic care wards of hospitals. These unsuitable placements added to the challenges faced by our residents, thus creating further trials for them in their efforts to play a more integral role in the community. As a result, from the very beginning, Participation House Brantford directed most of its energy to helping residents realize their full potential whether spiritually, emotionally or physically.
