Today, DABC celebrates the 13th Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD)! GAAD highlights and brings awareness to the importance of digital accessibility for people with all disabilities.

At DABC, we are constantly striving to make our services and resources more accessible to our clients and anyone else who may access them.

We recently began providing our flagship magazine, Transition, in both PDF and accessible text formats. Check out the magazine here:

We’re also working toward revamping our website to make it more streamlined and accessible! Early stages of this process involved asking the disability community for their input through an online survey, and direct discussions with people with various disabilities.

The Disability Tax Credit (DTC) is an important benefit that reduces taxes and provides access to important tax related benefits like the Child Disability Benefit, Canada Worker’s Benefit Disability Supplement, and financial programs like the Registered Disability Savings Plan, Canada Dental Care Plan (June 2024), and Canada Disability Benefit (2025).  

Disability Alliance BC is updating our Disability Tax Credit tool to make the application process easier for everyone, and we would like to hear from you!  Join our focus group to test out our new updated DTC tool and give us feedback on how to make the tool useful and accessible to you.

Honoraria provided in the form of gift cards.
