Best Buddies Western

Best Buddies is an international non-profit organization with a chapter right here on Western campus. We as a club focus on creating opportunities and fostering friendships for people with IDDs (intellectual and developmental disabilities) by hosting events where the main focus is inclusivity and integration. We partner with Community Living London, which is an organization comprised of adults in the London community with IDDs. Western students can either join the club as a general member and attend events or apply to be a peer buddy and get matched one-on-one with an adult from the London community with an IDD (must pass a Vulnerable Sector Police Check and go through an interview process first).
