The BC Coalition of People with Disabilities’ (BCCPD) AGM took place this Saturday, June 21st at the Holiday Inn.

Every year, the Council of Canadians with Disabilities (CCD) presents an award to recognize an individual’s outstanding contribution to Canada’s disability rights movement. Each CCD member group nominates a recipient of the award.

At the BCCPD’s AGM this year, the Board of Directors selected Tom McGregor to receive the award. Tom has worked and volunteered at the BCCPD for nearly 20 years. He currently works as an advocate with Wilson Heights United Church and is on the Translink Disability Advisory Committee. Tom is a passionate advocate and a great photographer.

                                 Congratulations on your well-deserved award, Tom!
