Welcome to L'Avenir Cooperative L'Avenir Cooperative is a Winnipeg-based organization that provides the supports which enable people labelled with intellectual and/or physical disabilities to live with dignity, fulfillment, and security in their communities.
A book of Activities forLife Planning Continuity Care was established by a group of dedicated parents, siblings and citizens who want to help families in Manitoba plan a safer and more secure future for their family member with an intellectual disability.''Planning is a must. Start planning now!''Planning gives us a chance to live our own lives while at the same time knowing that our relative has a life of their own. Start now and review regularly. Good intentions based on wrong information can put people at risk. Some siblings tell us that they are uncomfortable with the responsibilities that the parents are expecting them to undertake. Other families learn that the wills and estate planning they have done in good faith may result in loss of government income supports, medical / dental benefits and access to the many government programs their family member may require.
