The Inverness Cottage Workshop (ICW) was established in 1981 as a community-based non-profit developmental centre and had a goal of serving 10 -12 adults with intellectual disabilities through a bakery and a woodworking program.
In 1992, we purchased an old refurbished CNR storage building from the local Kinsmen organization which continues to serve as the main location.
In 2009, with funding from Service Canada, we ran a research project to identify potential new business areas for the organization. Following that research, the ICW opened a used clothing store and started a village market during the summer months.
Today, we have 7 full time staff and 30 clients particpating in the daily programs of the ICW – Bakery, Used Clothing Store, Shredding, Recycling & Village Market.
