Arcane Horizon Inc is a not for profit organization incorporated on July 19,1995 to support two men to live in their own home in the community. The agency was formed when the parents of these two men determined they could develop a more suitable support model for their sons. These parents with the assistance of Family Services, Association for Community Living and Prairie Places Inc. founded the agency.The agency is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors predominantly comprised of family members of individuals we support. The agency was founded on the Gentle Teaching Philosophy - this means that our first task is to build a bridge of companionship between those whom we serve and their support network. We build on our belief that all people have a deep longing to feel at home with others, and are called to come together in a spirit of companionship and community.This approach to care giving is based on a psychology of human interdependence that sees all change as mutual and as bringing or deepening feelings of companionship and community.

One thing that I truly liked about this place is the way they explain the things and their customer service simply rocks. I smashed my iPhone 6s screen while hanging out with my buds at my school. Mission repair centre was close to my school so I just took my phone there. I was thinking these guys might charge me arm and leg to replace my iPhone 6s screen but that wasn’t the case. I got my phone fixed in 15 minutes for the price I could easily afford. Read more
