Organized by

Karis Disability Services

Karis Disability Services (formerly Christian Horizons) is a non-profit, developmental services organization. We help people with disabilities accomplish their goals and thrive in communities where their God-given gifts are valued and celebrated.

In 2023, we changed our name from Christian Horizons to Karis Disability Services. Why? We want our name to help build our vision of belonging, and we want people to know exactly what we do and who we serve. We work in Ontario and Saskatchewan, and globally in six other countries.
