Versatech Industries History
The organization was founded in 1962 as "Arc
Industries" by parents of men and women with intellectual disabilities to provide
respite and "day programs" for their sons and daughters.
It was incorporated September 26, 1978 (Manitoba) as Arc Industries Inc.
Its name was changed to VERSATECH INDUSTRIES INC. June 12, 1986 to differentiate itself
from other unrelated organizations throughout North America calling themselves "ARC
Industries" and to avoid identification with organizations synonymous with
intellectually handicapped children and/or citizens using "ARC" as an acronym.
VERSATECH INDUSTRIES INC. is a registered charity (charitable registration no.
11928 3513 RR0001). |
