Welcome to the website of the residents of George Pearson Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
George Pearson Centre (GPC) is home to approximately 120 residents who live with a range of physical disabilities. Some residents have lived at the Centre all of their adult life. Some are relatively new residents, while many others expect to live out their life in the facility. Not all residents want to live at GPC. Many are compelled to live here because there are not enough disability supports like accessible affordable housing and home support to allow them to live in their own homes.
GPC is unique in the City of Vancouver as it is situated on 19 acres of rolling hills, pathways, trees, grass and shrubs. The services offered at Pearson are also unique in the province because they include specialized support for people living with ventilators as well as on-site occupational and physiotherapy, and a computer centre.
