The Betel Home Foundation was founded by a small group of Icelandic Lutheran Women who "dreamed a dream". Through their efforts the first Betel Home opened its doors to nine residents on March 1, 1915 in rented quarters at 354 William Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba. Later in 1915 the "Home" was moved to permanent quarters in Gimli where over the years it expanded until it housed 95 residents. In 1990, a new 80-bed facility opened on this site. It was realized that there was a need for a second home thus in 1966 a new Home was built in Selkirk and was expanded upon in 1970. Currently Selkirk is "Home"to 91 residents. Vision Statement: Make Our Home Your Home Where Care And Service Prevail.

Since 1985, BCMOS has been working to expand the boundaries of accessibility for people with significant disabilities. Former Mayor of Vancouver Sam Sullivan, who became quadriplegic as a result of a skiing accident at age 19, founded BCMOS along with a group of friends with disabilities. Their desire to revisit wilderness areas that were so important to them when they could walk and hike motivated them to find ways to get back the freedom and inspiration of being in the great outdoors. Participants with disabilities are able to explore the wonders of the natural environment aboard the TrailRider multi-terrain wheelchair. Designed by BCMOS, the TrailRider is an environmentally sensitive method of transportation powered by two or more volunteers. BCMOS offers many ongoing activities throughout the year, including daily hiking programs, theme hikes, Kids’ Adventure Days, and Access Challenge, our annual wilderness expedition.

Our membership consists of families of children with cerebral palsy, adult individuals with cerebral palsy and interested organizations.
