our programs
Corridor Community Options provides a variety of supported employment opportunities, skills development, job coaching, recreational services, and specialized day programs for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
Supported employment opportunities are offered through the operation of three social enterprises.
We provide very dynamic programs for individuals with high and complex support needs.
Social enterprises
We currently support three social enterprises:
These social enterprises provide training environments for participants that contribute to interpersonal development, customer service, and teamwork skills.
Employment Services
Our Job Coach assists individuals to find meaningful work in the community.
The individual, while employed in one of our very active social enterprises will receive guidance, education and support from our instructors and job coach. They will learn transferable work and communication skills that will assist them in seeking employment, within the community, if that is their goal. The individual directs their career path and is given opportunities to explore many options to ensure the right fit for them.
We work closely with employers to provide education and support. Employers will benefit from qualified employees and the on-site support from our Job Coach.

client services
When seeking information or applying to attend Corridor Community Options, the Client Service Coordinator will support the individual and their personal support network through the referral and/or the admissions process. The Client Service Coordinator helps with the transition to our program and supports the participant and CCOA’s staff team to determine the individual’s program needs. This support includes goal setting, communication strategies, program support and also in collaboration with outside community resources to support the whole person.

We provide many recreational opportunities for our participants to enjoy. We celebrate every occasion and facilitate outings that enrich our participants’ lives and provide opportunities that otherwise may not be available.
Here at Corridor Community Options for Adults, we pride ourselves on being active members in the community, our recreation program is one of our favourite ways to help keep our folks active and present members.
Youth Program
The Youth Program is a transition program CCOA offers to individuals between the ages of 16-24, who would benefit from the services we offer following their graduation. Instructors will visit schools to begin introductions and assess the level of support needs of the potential client. This program is designed to ease the transition from the community to CCOA for potential clients.

Our support enables seniors to stay comfortable in their homes for longer.
