Disability Alliance BC would like to extend a big thank you to the Health Sciences Association’s Committee on Equality and Social Action for their recent donation to help update and distribute our Disability Benefits Help Sheets series.

Our Help Sheets are an accessible source of disability benefit and program information. Topics range from the Persons with Disabilities (PWD) Application to the Registered Disability Savings Plan. All of our Help Sheets are available online and free to download. Visit this link and click on “BC Disability Benefits Help Sheets:” https://disabilityalliancebc.therightfitbc.org/money.htm

We will cover the RDSP, Disability Tax Credit (DTC) and basic financial literacy. The workshop is for people receiving the Persons with Disabilities Benefit or living on low incomes. Staff and volunteers from community organizations are welcome to attend. We’ll be happy to help participants apply for the DTC and RDSP.

*This and future workshops have been made possible through the support of Vancity.

Please join us for our 3rd annual gala fundraiser, Swing into Spring 2015

We’ll be in a bigger venue, the Croatian Cultural Centre, and hope you’ll help us make this our best event ever! This is a great opportunity to meet and connect with other members of BC’s disability community. And, of course, proceeds benefit people with disabilities helped through DABC’s programs and services.

We’re thrilled to be welcoming back CBC’s Stephen Quinn as our MC, and actor, comedian and improviser extraordinaire David C. Jones. They’re truly an entertaining team and together they’ll host an evening of laughs and fun.
