The funding for EATI will expire on March 31, 2014. We have prepared a toolkit to help individuals and organizations speak out about:

• The fact that British Columbians with disabilities need personal supports like equipment and assistive technology in order to participate
• The need to renew and expand EATI before the end of its current funding  on March 31, 2014
• The way that equipment and assistive technology has changed your life or the lives of people that you know or represent

 Help keep EATI going. You can download the full EATI Tool Kit here.

Since the BCCPD launched its new online course in May the response has been very good. We have had people register for the course from Metro Vancouver communities, the Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island and the Central Okanagan. And these represent a diversity of types of businesses: disability organizations, home share providers, social services, municipalities, search and rescue, Aboriginal bands, and the manufacturing sector.

This course is for every workplace that has employees with disabilities. The course is easy to use; you can go at your own pace and receive resources and a certificate when you have completed. The course aims to provide employers and workers with practical strategies and tools for planning and provides resources to help in creating a plan that is inclusive.

We’d like to thank WorkSafe BC for funding this initiative.
