Margaret works at a call centre for an auction house in Chilliwack, calling customers for payment and determining when equipment sold will be leaving the site.

She uses a wheelchair, and she needed an adapted van to get to and from work independently rather than having to rely on others for rides. The WorkBC Centre in Chilliwack referred her to WorkBC Assistive Technology Services for help. She applied, and before long, she had the adapted van she needed for work.

“[I’m] so happy,” she says. “I got my independence back.”

Margaret says she would “definitely” recommend WorkBC Assistive Technology Services to others in need.

“Thank you for giving me my independence back.”
