We have received the following notice from UBC’s School of Kinesiology:

We are researching Disability Alliance BC’s members and volunteers’ experiences with physical activity programs in BC. If you are a person with a disability who is involved with DABC and want to contribute to research about the provision of physical activity programs in BC for persons with a disability, we would love to hear from you.

This research has the potential to inform policy changes in sport and physical activity, guide a future disability sport strategy in BC and contribute to creating more inclusive and welcoming physical activity opportunities for individuals with disabilities across BC.

It’s tax season and Tax AID DABC is here to help!

Disability Alliance BC’s Tax AID Team, along with our partner organizations (TAPS in Victoria and Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society in Kelowna), is helping clients who have questions about how to make their declaration for the Speculation and Vacancy Tax (SVT).

The service includes assisting with the declaration process by entering data for clients and helping clients call into the call centre, send an email, or read the existing website material.

SVT declaration is a new program in BC and part of the NDP government’s 30-point plan in the 2018 budget, meant to ease the housing affordability crisis in the province.
