Spinal Cord Injury BC (SCI BC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people with spinal cord injuries and related disabilities, adjust, adapt, and thrive. Currently, we serve over 2,800 British Columbians and their families and friends, by providing answers, information and unique community experiences that change lives.
Our Peer Programs and Resource Centre connect people with the SCI resources they need.
We’re here to help. Meet the SCI BC team, read our bios, and get in touch.
Since 1957, we’ve dedicated ourselves to serving British Columbians with spinal cord injuries.
Our volunteer Board oversees the strategic, financial and operational sustainability of the organization.
The Foundation provides financial support for SCI BC programs and awards annual scholarships and bursaries.

SCI BC’s head office, GF Strong resource centre, and shared Victoria office are located on the traditional and ancestral territory of the Coast Salish peoples – Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh, Musqueam, and Lekwungen Nations. Our Prince George regional office is on the traditional and ancestral territory of the Lheidli T’enneh Nation.
