International Day of Persons with Disabilities: Province announces recipients of 2021 Accessibility Grants

December 3rd is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD). As noted on the United Nations’ website, “The observance of the Day aims to promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilize support for the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities. It also seeks to increase awareness of gains to be derived from the integration of persons with disabilities in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life.” The theme for IDPD 2021 is “Leadership and participation of persons with disabilities toward an inclusive, accessible and sustainable post-COVID-19 world.”

For the fourth year in a row, the provincial government has chosen this day to announce the community organizations that will receive funding for projects promoting accessibility and inclusion. As with other years, grants will be disbursed by Disability Alliance BC.
