Torchlight Services is a non-profit charitable organization providing vocational rehabilitation programs and services. The
Torchlight Industries program started in 1974 to address the employment needs of people with disabilities. Funding was provided by the federal government's Local Initiatives Program. The program operated under the auspices of Community Torchlight (Distress Centre) until 1974 when it evolved into a separate organization, Torchlight Services. At that time, Torchlight Industries was a small workshop where clients provided mailing services for some companies or assembled products for others. The idea was to strive for integration and provide a service that no other agency in the community was providing
