In 1988, following the reorganization of the Constance-Lethbridge rehabilitation Centre, Health Canada's
Innovation Program funded the creation of three units (Main-Forte, Coude à
coude and Amalgame) allowing 36 people with physical disabilities to insert an environment
reproducing the labour world. This is how units managed by their own participating members were
created.
The unit is an environment where everyone has its own responsibility. Participants take
care of management, maintenance, work planning as well as hiring and acceptance of new members
within the organization. They also are a majority on the board of directors.
