The Core Members
The fun-loving adults with a diverse spectrum of disabilities who live together as a family, who want to share their lives with you, and have you share your life with them.
The people
Shekinah Homes Society is a warm, welcoming, multi-cultural community comprised of talented, passionate people. Our staff are referred to as “Assistants” and those that live-in are Communal Living Assistants or CLA.
The experience
Hone your skills in an ideal environment for a career in caring for others. Many of our Assistants from overseas discover that Shekinah Homes Society is an ideal gateway to a new language and culture.
The setting
Victoria, British Columbia, is located on the southeastern tip of Vancouver Island on Canada’s west coast and is one of Canada’s most picturesque cities. People living in Victoria enjoy a mild year-around climate, access to nature, and a quality of life that possesses all amenities of urban living in a city small enough to have retained its character and charm.
The inclusive spirit
Everyone has a voice at Shekinah Homes Society and every opinion is heard. Decisions are made as a community, sometimes with much spirited debate. We follow contemporary, progressive ideas about what it means to be an intentional community. Our goal: To honor and empower not only our Core Members, but also all who live and work here.
