Instructor
Maggie Vilvang has worked in support of people with diverse abilities, their networks, service providers and funders for decades, and she has learned a lot from all of them. As the lead service designer on CLBC’s ‘Advancing New Support Options Project’ Maggie had the opportunity to work with an awesome team and bring those lessons to life… well actually to L.I.F.E.
For the last few years Maggie has been working alongside service providers as L.I.F.E. Services expands around the province and is honoured to have had the opportunity to design, prototype, and now facilitate ‘Employment in the Context of L.I.F.E. Services’ for the BCEN.
