Headway Centre New Westminster - Howe Sound Rehabilitation Services Society
Headway is a place for people with acquired brain injuries to gain confidence and skills necessary to reach their personal goals. Members of the centre volunteer side by side with staff, using their abilities and strengths to complete the duties and tasks of the centre, as well as develop and maintain friendships and participate in social, recreational, and leisure drop-in activities.
Howe Sound operates three headway centres located in Vancouver, North Shore and New Westminster.
Monday-Thursday: 10am-5pm
Fridays: 10am-8pm
