Learn how to recover from stroke and how to help stroke survivors too.

Stroke Recovery is a Journey, and We Are Here to Help You.

Stroke Recovery BC provides in-person and virtual programs to those affected by stroke throughout every stage of recovery. No stroke experience is exactly alike; we are here to assist you in finding the help that’s right for you, when you need it in our community-based weekly programs.

We offer programs that are safe spaces where you can share experiences, information and coping strategies. We are here to support you through your journey as you get back to living life in your community.

Our Participation Fee is $50/year.
