DABC is planning to redesign our website and we want your feedback! We value your perspectives and ideas as we make our website more visitor friendly, accessible and informative. We have created an online survey, which will be open until February 29th, 2024.

Please note that all responses are anonymous.

At the end of the survey, you will be provided a link to fill out a second form if you would like to be entered into a draw for a $50 gift card to a local store of your choice. The second form is completely optional. If you do provide your email address in the second form for the draw, your information will be kept confidential and will not be shared with anyone outside of DABC. Your email address will not be added to any listserv or mailing list.

We estimate the survey may take 12-20 minutes to complete.

There are open ended questions at the end of the survey should your feedback not be captured in the previous questions.

Take the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WKWDGQJ.

Thank you for your thoughtful responses!

Disability Alliance BC has joined over 260 humanitarian, civil society, faith, and labour organizations in calling on the Government of Canada to: 

• Call for an immediate ceasefire in Israel-Palestine 
• Call for an end to the blockade of Gaza and for the restoration of humanitarian aid and access to the basic necessities of life.

While the temporary ceasefire will provide some relief, it is not enough: a permanent ceasefire and an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestine is needed to put an end to widespread loss of life, displacement, and intense suffering.  

We condemn all targeting of innocent Palestinian and Israeli civilians, and the rise of Anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian racism, Islamophobia, and antisemitism in Canada and beyond. Palestinians, Israelis, and all people in the region deserve to live in peace and security and with justice for all. 

We encourage you to: sign a federal petition to the House of Commons, email your MP and political leaders, and join days of action if you’re able.
