Welcome to bisno.org
Our Mission
To assist individuals, living with the effects of an acquired brain injury, in attaining their maximum potential as they continue living, loving and doing.
Our Purpose
Brain Injury Services of Northern Ontario (BISNO) is a non-profit charitable organization which provides rehabilitation and support services within the community to individuals living with the effects of an Acquired Brain Injury. BISNO affiliates itself with other agencies and professionals in developing and providing a range of services in Northern Ontario.
Wellness, Safety & Success
We value and advocate for environments that utilize least intrusive methods and have structures and resources that prevent harm and ensure wellness, safety and success.
Land Acknowledgement
We begin by acknowledging the Inuit, Metis and First Nations peoples of all the lands that we live and work on today. We recognize that BISNO services cross over multiple traditional and Treaty Territories. We honour the enduring presence, culture and contributions of Indigenous peoples who continue to call this land home. We accept that our relationship to this land is one of responsibility and care.
We are committed to no longer silencing or erasing Indigenous voices by acknowledging the impacts of colonization and learning about Indigenous peoples, their experiences and supporting their wellness in meaningful ways.
At BISNO we are devoted to fostering respect, inclusion and building relationships with Indigenous communities. We recognize our role and responsibilities in the ongoing journey toward national reconciliation, and we acknowledge our accountability for the impacts of this tragic history.
This acknowledgment is not only a statement but a commitment to listen, to learn and to act in ways that support reconciliation, respect Indigenous sovereignty and uphold our shared responsibility.
