We have over 360 employees and an annual operating budget of approximately $17 million. We are an HEABC affiliate employer, working with the same collective agreements as Health Authorities and other non-profits in the mental health sector.
MPA Society's vocational, recreational, advocacy and housing programs support people in their own communities. We offer a dynamic working environment, competitive wages and benefits, as well as an opportunity to grow professionally with the organization, while applying your abilities and values in a meaningful way for those we support.
MPA Society is CARF accredited, having achieved a three-year accreditation in November of 2015 and again in November 2018. Accreditation is official recognition that our organization is guided by internationally recognized best practices and the same standards that Health Authorities are held to.
