Survey on Disclosure
Disability Alliance BC (DABC) is embarking on a project on the issue of disclosure of disability, and we would like to learn what people with disabilities know about disclosure. Disclosure, in the context of employment for example, means telling your employer or potential employer about your disability. There are rules regarding when a person with a disability is and isn’t required to disclose their disability in relation to employment, as well as in education.
Please complete our short online survey at
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/82X77K2. Responses received by September 15/15 will be entered in a draw for two gift certificates to Starbucks or London Drugs.
We've Updated our CPP-D Guides
We’ve completed updates of all of our Canada Pension Plan Disability (CPP-D Guides). If you would like us to mail you any, please email Val at feedback@disabilityalliancebc.therightfitbc.org
