DABC is developing a web app to help people fill out the Disability Tax Credit (DTC), and we’d like to hear from you! If you are interested in trying out the application and sharing your feedback before it’s released, please email rdsp@disabilityalliancebc.therightfitbc.org to join our focus group on March 19th.

The City of Vancouver is issuing a Casting Call for people who rely on flexible plastic straws for consuming beverages and nutrition to participate in a photoshoot and videoshoot for a public awareness advertising campaign.

The campaign is designed to increase the public’s understanding of the rationale behind the plastic straw by-law, particularly the accessibility requirement for food vendors to provide flexible plastic straws individually wrapped in paper when requested, while banning all other plastic straws.

Details about the photoshoot and videoshoot are provided in the casting call, along with contact information for any questions.

DABC was pleased to be invited to this announcement today and we look forward to working with government and other stakeholders to ensure people are able to fully access the supports and benefits they require following a motor vehicle accident.
