CURRENT PROGRAMS
R.I.T.E AND W.R.I.T.E.
From 1998 when the company
was awarded its' first R.I.T.E. pilot
project we have not looked back and have
seamlessly doubled in size since 2005.
Currently we maintain five offices and
an Aboriginal Outreach Program. We have
highly specialized skill, experience,
and employer connections throughout the
Fraser Valley; in addition to having experience
running anchor offices out of Abbotsford,
Mission, Chilliwack, Langley, Surrey,
and Maple Ridge.
Our programs continue
to be fondly known and identified as the
R.I.T.E. Program - Reaching Independence
Through Employment [men only] and the
W.R.I.T.E. Program - Women Reaching Independence
Through Employment [women only]. We work
with people who have experienced mild
to extreme barriers in finding and keeping
employment. Our participants have the
opportunity to define employment goals
that fit with the local labour market
in their area of interests and expertise,
while developing and enhancing personal
and professional skills.

Aboriginal Career Awareness
Outreach Program
We have been very excited
to provide mobile services to the Aboriginal
Communities for the past five years under
our Aboriginal Career Awareness Outreach
Program. Our eight week R.I.T.E/W.R.I.T.E
programs have been brought to various
reserves throughout the Fraser Valley
such as the Katzie Band in Pitt Meadows,
Sto:lo Nation, Chehalis, Le:quilem, Skwah,
Soowahlie, Squiala, Cheam, Matsqui, Seabird
Island, Metis Nations, and Scowlitz. The
outline of the program has been created
so that some of the unique barriers this
population faces can be eliminated by
working collaboratively with Triangle’s
services, Aboriginal Service Providers
and the community in order to move participants
on to employment or further related training.
Triangle is proud of
the successes and outcomes this service
has provided for the participants; and,
in return our staff have been given offerings
of honourable
acceptance and recognition
from the aboriginal communities. Based
on our successful reputation within the
aboriginal communities, we also provide
Life Skills components for both Chilliwack
Sto:lo Nation and Surrey Kla How Eya Blade
Runner Youth Programs.

Understanding Anger
On top of these cores
services, we also offer a unique five-week
Understanding Anger course that is both
well-received and appreciated by our participants;
with referrals from the Ministry of Children
and Family, Corrections, Probation Officers,
Lawyers, Psychologist, Doctors and Counsellor,
just to name a few. In this course, we
take a look at what anger is so that we
can identify the emotion and use techniques
to positively react. Our clients are provided
a safe and supportive environment that
enables them to learn about themselves
and be proactive in their approach to
life.

Third Party Administration
We also offer multi-barriered
clients our Third Party Administration
contract with the Ministry of Housing
and Social Development in the Abbotsford
and Mission offices. Clients are referred
by the Ministry, including clients who
cannot be assisted by the Ministry office
due to disruptive or threatening behaviour,
or experiencing difficulty managing their
funds; or with substance misuse issues
and other behavioural issues. Our staff
is well versed in community resources
and refer clients to appropriate services,
up to and including, mental and physical
health issues.

Community Linkages
Triangle Community Resources
has also been sought after to provide
Life Skills and Employability Skills workshops
to the Salvation Army, Youth Programs,
Ministry of Housing and Social Development,
as well as other Service Providers. We
also participate in our local community
by providing ongoing presentations within
Provincial and Federal Corrections to
facilitate a plan of action upon an inmate's
release. To this end, we have established
strong working relationships within the
community including Probation Offices,
John Howard Society, Elizabeth Fry, halfway
houses, treatment facilities, recovery
houses and other related service providers.
