CanAssist at the University of Victoria envisions a society where all people have the opportunity to participate, contribute and reach their full potential.

CanAssist strives to be a highly respected national resource that collaborates with UVic researchers and students, as well as diverse external partners, to provide people who experience physical or cognitive barriers with innovative technologies, programs and services that address unmet needs and increase independence, inclusion and well-being.
