OUR STORY
Where it Began
For 40 years, the Centre for Adults in Progressive Employment (CAPE Society) has worked in the Glace Bay community creating relationships between employers, community members and our participants. Our Society has supported over 500 individuals through our innovative programs.
Who We Are and What We Do
CAPE Society is a charitable, non-profit organization that is run by a volunteer Board of Directors. It is managed through a professional team of dedicated employees, who work to offer a range of programs and activities for adults with intellectual disabilities. We provide support in skill development, job readiness, community pre-employment and inclusion, and self-advocacy.
Our mission is to support individuals with disabilities to live the life they choose in their community. This is accomplished by educating the community about the importance of building an inclusive society and creating awareness about the benefits of encouraging individuals to reach their fullest potential as community members.
