CAPRE (Canning Area Parents for Real Employment) is a not for profit community development organization designed to facilitate supported self employment and supported employment for persons with intellectual disabilities in the Canning area of Nova Scotia.

CAPRE provides guidance and support to individuals in a business enterprise as they proceed through the entrepreneurial decision- making, business planning, and business operation cycle. (read more)
